Trump fires Attorney General Pam Bondi
The dismissal of Pam Bondi marks the second high-profile Cabinet departure in less than a month, following the removal of Kristi Noem.
Sources indicate that the president’s frustration stemmed from Bondi’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and a perceived failure to prosecute his political rivals.
Todd Blanche, known for representing Trump in his criminal hush-money case, will steer the Justice Department through this fresh period of tumult.
Lawmakers from both parties have reacted strongly, with some demanding that Bondi still appear for sworn testimony regarding her tenure.
