Trump’s Blunt 4-Word Firing of Pam Bondi Revealed Alongside Her Initial Response to the News: Report | Just Jared: Celebrity News and Gossip

Trump cited the Jeffrey Epstein files and a slow push against his political enemies as he replaced Bondi with Todd Blanche.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi during a limousine ride to the Supreme Court, with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche named acting Attorney General in a Thursday Truth Social post.
  • Reports indicate Trump grew frustrated with Bondi's handling of Jeffrey Epstein files and her perceived failure to aggressively prosecute political rivals, tensions reportedly building since January.
  • During a two-mile drive in his limousine dubbed "The Beast," Trump told Bondi, "I think it's time." Bondi served 14 months and will work "tirelessly" with Blanche over the next four weeks managing the transition.
  • Blanche told Fox News on Thursday the Justice Department has no further Epstein files to release, contradicting Bondi's previous claim that the agency was still combing through "millions" of documents.
  • Trump has reportedly considered Lee Zeldin, Environmental Protection Agency administrator, as a permanent replacement for Blanche, while Bondi stated she is "thrilled" to be transitioning to an important private sector role.
