President Trump has removed Pam Bondi as US Attorney General.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump called Bondi a “Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year.” He stated Bondi will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future.”
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will serve as Acting Attorney General until a replacement for Bondi is named.
Bondi, who was Florida’s attorney general before joining the Trump administration, was criticized by the president last September in a private message that was posted publicly on Truth Social. The president faulted what he believed was a lethargic effort to prosecute several of his political enemies, including New York Attorney General Letitia James on mortgage fraud charges. James was later indicted, but the case was dismissed by a judge who determined the Trump-appointed prosecutor was improperly assigned to the job. Two subsequent attempts to indict James were rejected by grand juries.
The James indictment was based on a criminal referral made by Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, who posted similar referrals against Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), and Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook. None of those referrals have resulted in an indictment.
Glad to hear this, now, when will the prosecutions of James, Schiff, and Swalwell happen??? They are long overdue!
For what? Revenge by the petty criminal in the White House.
Trump couldn’t even get his political plants to do his dirty work. Who’s ass are you kissing?
WORST Attorney General (in the worst Administration) in the history of the USA, Good Riddance!
Pride goeth before fall.
She was not (in my opinion) a good Attorney General in Florida, but try as she might to attempt to prosecute Trumps enemies, without any factual evidence, she just couldn’t do it! She tried mightily to hide Trumps misbehavior by not releasing the entire Epstein files to the disdain of the general public. As a lackluster Attorney General she failed her boss’s attempts to prosecute on his whims – so out you go!
GOOD MOVE.
Yes good move.
You had to bring up the Epstein files. Yes she tried to do some not right things for him and she wasn’t a great attorney general for Florida, but where was the DOJ with the Epstein files when Biden in office. You must be one of I those hate Trump people and no I’m a republican.
I think there’s enough shame in those Epstein Files for both parties. I don’t think any of the politicos, CEO’s or other high rollers wanted that info released.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s case was still under appeal, and the victims were minors; therefore most of the case files were under court seal. Some files began trickling into the public domain throughout 2024 as the courts began the process of unsealing them. Because bits & pieces were released during the end of Biden’s term, is precisely why the public, thus the campaign, became hyper focused on wanting the release of all files. It’s hilarious to me that people attempting to defend the trump admin. for dragging their feet for a year, they try to blame the Biden admin for not having accomplished it during their final month in office.
Don’t, the dems had 4 years to release those files…why didn’t that happen?
I saw her being questioned in congress . I found her to be argumentative and short tempered. I never heard a good answer from her on any question.
I think this is a good move . Trump has his eyes on the suitable candidate
I think she was a great attorney general here in Florida.
