Trump Reportedly Used 4 Brutal Words To Fire Pam Bondi — And The Aftermath Sounds Really Messy

This almost makes you feel bad for former Attorney General , according to the Journal, but Trump finally decided to make the call earlier this week.

Both the Times and the Journal report that the president cut her loose over her mismanaged rollout of the Jeffrey Epstein files and her failure to prosecute Trump’s political enemies — like former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James — with the breakneck speed that he publishes a typo-ridden Truth Social post.

Although Trump said Thursday that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will become acting attorney general, it is unclear who will permanently replace Bondi. Trump has floated the idea of choosing Lee Zeldin, a former Republican lawmaker from New York and the current administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency, the Times reports.

It is also unclear what Bondi will do next, although she did say in a post on X Thursday that she will be moving to a mysterious but “important private sector role I am thrilled about.”
