President Donald Trump has fired Pam Bondi as Attorney General, a move that Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) openly supported, immediately pivoting to his ongoing push for the full release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. This development, announced on April 2, 2026, sees Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stepping into the role in an acting capacity.
Massie didn’t waste any time, taking to X, to poll his followers about the decision, showcasing his clear priorities. “I support Trump firing Pam Bondi. Do you?” Massie asked his audience, according to The Hill. He then followed up with a strong statement, revealing his hopes for what comes next. “I hope the next AG will release all the Epstein files according to the law and follow up with investigations, prosecutions, and arrests,” he added.
