Bondi is OUT — and Trump already has a replacement in mind

“We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future, and our Deputy Attorney General, and a very talented and respected Legal Mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General,” Trump added. “Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Tensions over the attorney general’s performance reached a fever pitch after Bondi apparently failed to adequately comply with the law, which Trump himself signed, requiring the release of all Epstein files, prompting calls for her removal.

Critics noted that the release of these files was repeatedly delayed and that the files had been at times improperly redacted to protect potential co-conspirators while revealing the identity of alleged victims. In a heated House Oversight hearing back in February, Republican Rep. Thomas Massie (Ky.) ripped into Bondi over the Epstein files rollout, saying it was “literally the worst thing you could do to the survivors.”
During this hearing, Bondi also attempted to argue that the Epstein files were just another Democrat ploy to distract from Trump’s accomplishments, infamously noting that the Dow Jones had surpassed 50,000 points.
