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."
