President Trump Dismisses Attorney General Pam Bondi, Citing Displeasure Over Epstein Files
President Trump has dismissed Attorney General Pam Bondi, announcing the decision via a Truth Social post. Bondi will be replaced by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. The President reportedly expressed displeasure regarding Bondi's handling and release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. President Trump stated that Bondi would transition to a new, important role in the private sector. This marks the second Cabinet official dismissed by President Trump, following the removal of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on March 5. The Attorney General in the U.S. holds significant power as the head of the Department of Justice, with responsibilities akin to a Home Minister in other governmental structures.
