Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a statement after President Donald Trump announced her exit from the crucial Department of Justice chief position and said she is thrilled about her new position in the private sector, as she will be fighting for President Trump and the administration in her new role too. Unlike the social media posts, the exit was not friendly as reports claimed that there was a massive showdown between Trump and Bondi just before Trump's speech last night. Trump told Bondi that she was fired and Bondi tried to change his mind, begged the president not to fire her and to give her more time, Daily Mail reported, citing insiders.
The announcement was supposed to be made on Friday but as several news outlets like NYT, CNN already reported on it, the announcement was made on Thursday only.
