NYT: Trump has discussed firing Attorney General Pam Bondi

politicsApr 1, 20261789

President Trump has discussed firing Attorney General Pam Bondi and replacing her with EPA administrator Lee Zeldin. The move follows backlash over the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and growing GOP frustration. Under Bondi, the Justice Department dropped a record 23,000 criminal investigations, including hundreds into terrorism and white collar crime. Her possible ouster matters because removing the attorney general would further politicize prosecutions and reshape DOJ priorities.
