US President Donald Trump removes Attorney General Pam Bondi

Washington D.C. US President Donald Trump has removed Attorney General Pam Bondi from her position. She was known as a close ally and staunch supporter of the Trump administration.

Trump praised Bondi in a post on his social media platform 'Truth Social' and stated that she would now 'transition' to the private sector. However, her new role has not yet been disclosed.

During her tenure leading the Department of Justice, Bondi's term was largely overshadowed by the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein and the associated investigations. Epstein was a convicted sex offender whose case gained widespread attention in American politics.

She is the second high-ranking official to be removed from the Trump administration in recent weeks. Previously, in March, Kristi Noem was removed from her position as Secretary of Homeland Security. It has been reported that her former colleague Todd Blanche will be appointed to replace Bondi.

Stating that she would work tirelessly to hand over her responsibilities to Blanche, Bondi mentioned that this position was a great honor of her life. She has indicated that she will continue to work for Trump and his administration even after moving to the private sector.

This announcement comes two months after Bondi faced tough questioning from lawmakers during a tense congressional hearing, which included controversial debates. Interestingly, just on Thursday morning, Trump had praised Bondi, saying she was 'doing a great job.' However, just hours later, he announced her removal from the post.
