BREAKING: Bondi OUT as Attorney General… Replaced in Interim by Blanche

Pam Bondi is out as Attorney General, according to Fox News.

Fox News reported that Pam Bondi met with President Trump on Wednesday night before his Iran speech.

Bondi has reportedly already flown back to her home in Florida.

The president has reportedly discussed replacing Bondi with EPA Chief Lee Zeldin.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will replace Bondi in the interim.

Fox News reported:

President Donald Trump reportedly has already fired Attorney General Pam Bondi, according to two sources familiar with the matter who spoke with Fox News Digital.

Bondi met with Trump in the Oval Office Wednesday night ahead of his speech to the nation on the war in Iran, where she reportedly was informed of her ouster, according to two sources familiar with the meeting.

One of those sources said that by the time Trump took his place behind the podium for the address, Bondi already lost her job and was on her way back to Florida.

Trump is reportedly considering replacing Bondi with Environmental Protection Agency Director Lee Zeldin, according to the sources familiar with the matter. Trump held a meeting with Zeldin at the White House Tuesday to discuss wildfire and prevention, where talks of the transition also unfolded, according to an individual familiar with the meeting.

That source relayed to Fox News Digital that Zeldin would be a plausible replacement, adding that Trump could change his mind at any point.

“Pam Bondi led this Department with strength and conviction and I’m grateful for her leadership and friendship,” Blanche said in a statement.

“Thank you to President Trump for the trust and the opportunity to serve as Acting Attorney General,” Blanche said.

“We will continue backing the blue, enforcing the law, and doing everything in our power to keep America safe,” he added.

Fox News reporter Peter Doocy said Pam Bondi will transition to another role in the Trump Administration.

CBS News is also reporting that Bondi will be placed in another role in the administration.

On Wednesday night CNN and The New York Times reported that President Trump was mulling firing Attorney General Pam Bondi over her handling of the Epstein file release.

The New York Times reported that President Trump has been frustrated with Pam Bondi’s leadership at the DOJ.
