“Over the next month I will be working tirelessly to transition the office of Attorney General to the amazing Todd Blanche before moving to an important private sector role I am thrilled about, and where I will continue fighting for President Trump and this Administration,” she said.
“Leading President Trump’s historic and highly successful efforts to make America safer and more secure has been the honor of a lifetime, and easily the most consequential first year of the Department of Justice in American history.”

Pam Bondi begged Trump not to fire her during dramatic White House showdown as insider reveals his final straw
Attorney General Pam Bondi begged Donald Trump not to fire her in an explosive showdown at the White House after he accused her of an unforgivable offense.
Trump fired Bondi on Thursday, the second cabinet casualty in less than a month, after months of controversy, including the botched handling of the Epstein files.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will serve as acting attorney general until a permanent nominee is picked.
Trump informed her of the decision shortly before his prime-time Iran war address to the nation, a senior administration source told the Daily Mail.
Bondi responded by pleading for the President to give her more time in the role, but Trump remained firm that her time leading the agency was over, the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal.
‘She was unhappy and tried to change his mind,’ the source said.
However, the President told her she was fired and that an announcement would be made shortly. The announcement had been due to be made on Friday but has been rushed out after rampant media speculation erupted overnight.
Trump’s reasoning for the sudden dismissal comes in part because the President believes Bondi tipped off Eric Swalwell about the FBI’s efforts to release investigative documents related to his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy.
Fox Hosts Crush Pam Bondi on Her Way Out the Door: She ‘Royally Fouled Up’ on Epstein From the ‘Get-Go’
Fox Business Network host Dagen McDowell delivered a punishing postscript on the tenure of former Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday
In a pointed commentary on The Big Money Show, McDowell blasted Bondi — who was ousted from her post on Thursday — over her handling of the DOJ files on Jeffrey Epstein.
“She, from the get-go, royally fouled up the release of the Jeffrey Epstein documents,” McDowell said. “And it was just such a rolling disaster all year, and was handled so poorly, that that was one of the biggest problems despite her obvious loyalty [to President Donald Trump] and her background.”
McDowell’s colleague, Brian Brenberg, was critical in his assessment as well.
