Trump fires Pam Bondi

The dismissal follows intense criticism regarding Bondi's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and her perceived failure to prosecute the president's political adversaries.

Despite her public displays of extreme loyalty, Trump reportedly informed her that her time was ending during a car ride to the Supreme Court.

Todd Blanche, a former personal attorney for the president, will assume the role in an acting capacity.

Lawmakers from both parties have reacted swiftly, with some insisting that Bondi must still testify before Congress despite her exit.
