president Donald Trump dismisses Pam Bondi as Attorney General , with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche replacing her on an acting basis.
Confirmed
Khanna said lawmakers should refuse to confirm Blanche as the next attorney general unless he will "submit to investigating and prosecuting this Epstein class, this group of men who felt that they could write their own rules, play by their own roles, and treated the rest of us as dispensable". "As President Trump said today, the attorney general made our country safe again, and she is a friend and did a great job in the first year of this administration," he told Fox News on Thursday evening. Bondi said she would be "working tirelessly" to transfer her work to Blanche, adding that the job had "been the honour" of a lifetime. Trump praised her in a post on Truth Social and said she would be "transitioning" to a role in the private sector. The department later said no such list existed.
US President Donald Trump has removed Attorney General Pam Bondi - a longtime ally and fierce defender of his administration - from her post as America's top law enforcement officer. Trump praised her in a post on Truth Social and said she would be "transitioning" to a role in the private sector. Bondi's time leading the justice department was often overshadowed by its handling of the release of files relating to Jeffrey Epstein and its investigation into the convicted sex offender. She is the second Trump administration official in recent weeks to be cut from her post, after Kristi Noem was ousted as homeland security chief in March. Bondi will be replaced by her former deputy, Todd Blanche
