Donald Trump has removed Pam Bondi as attorney general after months of pressure over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and broader dissatisfaction with Justice Department actions, marking a major shift in the administration’s legal leadership.
Bondi’s exit follows sustained criticism from lawmakers, Trump allies and victims linked to the Epstein case, alongside internal frustration over stalled or unsuccessful prosecutions. Despite her removal, Trump publicly praised her as “a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend.”
