Pam Bondi's portrait was reportedly found in a Department of Justice trash bin just one day after President Donald Trump fired her as attorney general. The image, obtained by MS NOW and shared widely, showed the former attorney general's framed official portrait resting upside down in an otherwise empty wired bin in the department's offices. It had hung in a prominent position near pictures of Mr Trump and Vice President JD Vance. The development emerged hours after her dismissal on 2 April.
The episode has highlighted tensions that marked Ms Bondi's 14-month tenure at the department, where she was said to be deeply unpopular with many career officials and agents. Thousands reportedly left rather than follow her orders, according to sources.
