Trump Ousts Attorney General Bondi

President Donald Trump announced the removal of Attorney General Pam Bondi following months of mounting frustration over her leadership at the Justice Department.

The dismissal follows high-profile stumbles regarding the release of Jeffrey Epstein's investigative files and failed attempts to prosecute the president's political rivals.

Todd Blanche, a former personal attorney to the president, has been tapped to lead the department on an interim basis.

Bondi is reportedly transitioning to a role in the private sector as the administration reshapes its legal strategy.
