Trump fires Attorney General Bondi

Bondi's departure was marked by reports of internal paranoia and her failure to deliver criminal cases against the president's political rivals.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has stepped in as a temporary replacement, though loyalists are already pushing for more hardline candidates.

The firing comes as the administration faces a critical political clock ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.

Critics argue that Bondi's tenure has already caused significant damage to the Justice Department's perceived independence.
