BREAKING: Pam Bondi Reportedly to Be Ousted as AG 'Imminently'

Isaac Schorr Apr 2nd, 2026, 10:28 am


Politico's Dasha Burns reported that Attorney General Pam Bondi will "will be out imminently" on Thursday morning following Wednesday evening stories from CNN and The New York Times suggesting that Bondi would likely be leaving her post soon.

"A person close to the White House tells Dasha that when Trump met EPA boss Lee Zeldin on Tuesday to discuss last year's California wildfires, Trump also discussed the potential of tapping him for the AG role (CNN and the NYT last night both named Zeldin as the most likely successor.) A second person familiar with the situation tells Dasha that Bondi will be out imminently," read Thursday's edition of Politico Playbook.

The Times' Tyler Pager had previously reported that "President Trump has discussed firing Attorney General Pam Bondi in recent days as he grows frustrated with her leadership at the Justice Department and her handling of the Epstein files" on Wednesday. "Among his top complaints is Ms. Bondi's handling of the Epstein files, which has become a political liability for Mr. Trump among his supporters. He has also complained about her shortcomings as a communicator and vented about what he sees as the department's lack of aggressiveness in going after his foes, according to people who have spoken to him recently."

WHAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT: Dasha last night confirmed those buzzy NYT and CNN scoops that Pam Bondi will likely soon be OUT as attorney general.

Bondi beached: A person close to the White House tells Dasha that when Trump met EPA boss Lee Zeldin on Tuesday to discuss last year’s California wildfires, Trump also discussed the potential of tapping him for the AG role. (CNN and the NYT last night both named Zeldin as the most likely successor.) A second person familiar with the situation tells Dasha that Bondi will be out imminently.

I've often wondered about that. The "War Room" which is curtained off and serviced by Mar a Lago waiters is staffed with DC people from the Traitor's administration. He would never just let them on the property without billing us. He couldn't miss that chance to grift--not in his DNA.
I'm betting we have been paying membership dues for his whole criminal DC gang.

will he be an improvement over Bondi ? Not sure. He has zero experience in criminal law, his JD is from some third-rate law school and all he ever did was practice law for two years before jumping into politics. I guess this makes him qualified in a Trump administration.

Is Bessant actually working for the Democrats? As Treasury Secretary I’m certain that he was adjacent to President Pedo’s decision to place his signature on our currency. Both obviously think this will be a GOOD thing. Do they truly think that all the low denomination bills bearing the Pedo’s signature will be perceived as a gift from Trump. (That was what his signature on COVID checks was intended to engender.) Now, with economics so very tight, I can’t believe anyone looking at a $1 or $5 bill will feel anything but disdain and hatred . . . sort of like a red flag in front of a bull. Maybe we’ll find this is yet another constant reminder to the public-at-large of incompetence, corruption, and self-aggrandizement at OUR expense? Do we need to thank Bessant?
