Donald Trump Fires Pam Bondi Amid Epstein Fallout, Appoints Todd Blanche as Acting AG
In a major shake-up within the US Department of Justice, President Donald Trump has dismissed Attorney General Pam Bondi following mounting criticism over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case and stalled prosecutions of key political opponents.
Trump announced that his former personal lawyer, Todd Blanche, will step in as acting Attorney General, signaling a strategic shift ahead of critical political battles.

While Trump praised Bondi’s tenure, Democrats—including Elizabeth Warren—welcomed her removal, citing concerns over alleged politicization of justice. Reports also suggest Lee Zeldin could emerge as a permanent replacement.
The move underscores growing tensions within Trump’s administration as legal controversies and election-season pressure intensify.
