Donald Trump Pam Bondi Hakeem Jeffries Pete Hegseth Pentagon

Pam Bondi has been removed from her role as attorney general, with President Trump announcing her departure and naming Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as acting attorney general. This news quickly sparked a reaction from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who took to X to declare, “Pam Bondi has been fired. Good riddance. Pete Hegseth is next.”

Trump shared the news on Truth Social, where he praised her extensively, calling her “a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend” who “did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900.” Bondi responded on X, calling her time leading the Department of Justice “the honor of a lifetime” and expressing gratitude for the president’s trust.
