President Donald Trump announced the departure of Pam Bondi as Attorney General, replacing her with Deputy AG Todd Blanche. Trump praised Bondi in a post on Truth Social, stating she 'faithfully served' as AG and will transition to a new role in the private sector.
While the president did not reveal Bondi's new role, he hinted that she will have a 'much needed and important new job' in the private sector. Todd Blanche, who will serve as Acting AG, expressed gratitude to Trump and pledged to continue enforcing the law and keeping America safe.
Bondi's tenure as AG was marked by intense turmoil, including the firings of career prosecutors and the resignations of hundreds of employees. Critics accused her of politicizing the Justice Department, while her defenders argued she worked to refocus the agency on tackling illegal immigration and violent crime.
