Trump fires Attorney General Pam Bondi

President Donald Trump announced the removal of Attorney General Pam Bondi via social media, stating she will transition to a role in the private sector.

The decision follows months of internal tension regarding Bondi's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and her perceived failure to prosecute the president's political adversaries.

Todd Blanche, who previously represented Trump in his criminal hush-money case, has been named as the interim successor to lead the department.

Lawmakers have already indicated that Bondi may still be required to testify before Congress regarding the Epstein investigation despite her departure.
