Trump fires Pam Bondi

Trump fires Pam Bondi

The removal of Pam Bondi marks the second high-profile cabinet exit in less than a month, signaling a deepening purge of officials who fail to meet the president's expectations.

Sources indicate that Trump grew increasingly impatient with Bondi's leadership at the Justice Department, particularly regarding the disclosure of sensitive documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Todd Blanche, a former personal attorney to the president, has been installed as acting attorney general to oversee the department's next phase.

Democrats have warned that the move may be an attempt to stall upcoming congressional testimony from Bondi regarding the Epstein investigation.
