US EditionTrump fires Attorney General Pam Bondi
- On Thursday, April 2, 2026, President Donald Trump removed Attorney General Pam Bondi and named Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as acting attorney general, marking the second cabinet-level firing in Trump's second term.
- Mounting White House frustration over Bondi's handling of Jeffrey Epstein-related files and the slow pace of prosecuting political opponents drove the dismissal, according to administration sources.
- The Justice Department released roughly 3 million pages of Epstein-related documents, yet 2.5 million pages remained sealed, fueling bipartisan criticism and accusations of "possible mismanagement" from lawmakers.
- Trump praised Bondi's "massive crackdown" on crime as she transitions to the private sector, while Blanche, his former personal attorney, assumes interim leadership of the Justice Department.
- Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin is reportedly under consideration as a permanent replacement, as the administration continues a broader leadership shakeup following the recent removal of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
