Trump removes attorney general Pam Bondi, White House confirms

U.S. President Donald Trump has removed Attorney General Pam Bondi from her position, according to a White House official.

The decision comes amid reported dissatisfaction with Bondi’s performance, including concerns over the handling of investigative files linked to Jeffrey Epstein, according to media reports. The White House official confirmed the dismissal but did not provide detailed reasons in a public statement.

Reports also indicate Trump had expressed frustration over what he viewed as a lack of swift legal action against his political critics and opponents. Those claims have not been independently verified by Connect Newsroom.

The move is expected to trigger changes within the U.S. Department of Justice, including potential shifts in legal strategy and leadership direction. It remains unclear who will assume the role on an interim or permanent basis.

This marks the second high-level removal in recent weeks. On March 5, Trump also dismissed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, according to prior announcements.
