Pam Bondi fired as AG

Bondi's departure was marked by Justice Department staffers reportedly discarding her portraits in the trash shortly after the announcement.

Incoming acting AG Todd Blanche has stated that the department should move on from the Epstein investigation, despite claims that not all files have been released.

The firing has sparked a search for a permanent successor, with Lee Zeldin emerging as a top contender.

Critics suggest the move signals a shift toward a more weaponized Justice Department ahead of the midterms.
