Trump Fires AG Pam Bondi

Trump Fires AG Pam Bondi

The dismissal follows months of escalating tension between the White House and the Department of Justice over the handling of sensitive investigations, including the release of Jeffrey Epstein's files.

Despite her long-standing loyalty, Bondi reportedly failed to satisfy the president's demands for aggressive prosecutions of political adversaries.

Todd Blanche's elevation to the role further blurs the lines between the president's personal legal defense and the nation's top law enforcement agency.

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have reacted with a mix of celebration and concern, with some insisting Bondi must still testify before Congress.
