President Trump on Thursday announced he has fired Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Before joining DOJ in February 2025, she was a partner at lobbying firm, a board member for President Trump's Make America Great Again political action committee, was part of his legal team for his first impeachment, and campaigned for him in 2016, 2020 and 2024, among other roles.
Deputy AG Todd Blanche will run the Justice Department on an interim basis.
The Wall Street Journal reported in January that Trump had been increasingly unhappy with Bondi for not enforcing his agenda more effectively, including her failure to successfully prosecute his political foes and her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files release.
