Pam Bondi fired as Attorney General

The dismissal of Pam Bondi marks the second high-profile cabinet departure in less than a month, signaling a deepening purge within the administration.

Frustrations reportedly peaked over Bondi's management of sensitive Epstein-related documents and her failure to secure criminal charges against the president's foes.

Todd Blanche, a former personal attorney for Trump, has taken over as acting head of the Justice Department.

Democrats and some Republicans have raised concerns that the move aims to shield the administration from upcoming congressional testimony regarding the Epstein investigation.
