Trump removes Attorney General Pam Bondi, installs Todd Blanche as acting AG
President Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday, replacing her for now with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as acting attorney general. Sources told CBS News the president had grown frustrated with Bondi over several issues, including her handling of records tied to the Jeffrey Epstein case and what he viewed as insufficient prosecutions of his political opponents. In a social media post, the president thanked Bondi for her service and said she would be entering the private sector.
