President Trump Removes Attorney General Pam Bondi and Army Chief of Staff

U.S. President Donald Trump has removed Attorney General Pam Bondi from her position, confirming the decision via his Truth Social account. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, a former personal lawyer to Trump, has been appointed as the acting Attorney General. While President Trump publicly praised Bondi as a "Great American Patriot" and a "loyal friend," stating she would pursue a new role in the private sector, reports from sources suggest other factors. These include alleged frustration with her performance, concerns over the release of files related to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and a perceived lack of speed in prosecuting critics. This marks the second significant cabinet-level change within the Trump administration in the past month.
