Donald Trump fired Pam Bondi following reported dissatisfaction with her handling of Department of Justice matters, including files related to Jeffrey Epstein and other prosecutions.

Todd Blanche will serve as acting attorney general while a permanent replacement is considered, with Lee Zeldinmentioned as a potential candidate.

Trump praised Bondi publicly but indicated she will transition to a private-sector role, while Bondi said she will help ensure an orderly handover.

The move follows other recent personnel changes in Donald Trump’s administration, including the dismissal of Kristi Noem, CNBC has reported.

The decision reflects ongoing reshuffling within the administration.
