TOI Correspondent from Washington: Another one bites the dust. US President Donald Trump has fired a second cabinet member – attorney general Pam Bondi – within a month, illustrating that just loyalty without serving his cause is not enough to hold a job in his turbulent administration.
Bondi’s dismissal, announced via Trump’s Truth Social platform, came after months of mounting frustration inside the White House over her stewardship of the justice department. While Trump publicly struck a conciliatory tone—thanking her for her service and signalling a transition to the private sector—officials and allies made clear the break had been building for weeks.
