Trump fires Attorney General Bondi, taps deputy as interim AG

President Trump has fired Attorney General Pam Bondi. Word of Bondi being ousted as the nation’s top law enforcement officer comes amid multiple media reports that the president has become increasingly frustrated with her job performance. People familiar with the matter say he was unhappy with Bondi’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and hurdles the Justice Department has encountered in investigations into Donald Trump’s perceived enemies. The New York Times reports that deputy attorney general Todd Blanche, a Trump loyalist, will be the acting AG.
