US EditionPam Bondi is second Trump official to be fired. Is Tennessee a bad omen?
Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal lawyer, will lead the Justice Department after Bondi’s dismissal over criticism tied to the Epstein files.
- On Thursday, April 2, 2026, President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi and appointed Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as acting attorney general.

- This firing mirrors the departure of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, as both officials were removed following official visits to Tennessee, establishing a pattern of cabinet turnover during state travel.
