President Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi amid mounting controversy over her handling of documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Congress was preparing actions that could force Bondi to testify about her office's ties to Epstein and possible document withholding. Bondi will remain for about a month to transition as Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche becomes acting attorney general. The ouster shifts control of the Justice Department during a high-profile investigation and raises questions about document preservation and political interference.
