Trump Ousts Attorney General Bondi

Attorney General Pam Bondi is leaving her post as head of the US Justice Department, ending a chaotic tenure defined by high-profile stumbling blocks in carrying out the administration's agenda.

The president's decision follows months of simmering frustration over her handling of sensitive files related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will step into the interim role, further blurring the lines between the White House and the nation's top law enforcement agency.

While Trump praised Bondi's crackdown on crime, insiders suggest her failure to prosecute political enemies led to her imminent removal.
