Trump Ousts Attorney General Pam Bondi

The dismissal follows reported White House frustration over Bondi's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and several failed prosecutions of political rivals.

Sources indicate that the decision was finalized in a late-night showdown, ending a year-plus tenure that upended the department's traditional independence.

Todd Blanche, a former personal attorney to the president, has been tapped for the interim role to ensure a smooth transition.

Despite her exit, lawmakers insist that Bondi remains subject to subpoenas regarding her oversight of sensitive investigative files.
