Bondi's Portrait Trashed After Firing

It's April 5th.

From your city to your ears, this is Birmingham News today, powered by AI.

Just hours after President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi, on April 2nd,

her official portrait vanished from the walls of the Justice Department.

It had been hanging right next to photos of the President and Vice President, but now

it's gone, with pictures popping up online showing it tossed.

Face up in a trash can.

The move came amid heavy criticism of Bondi's tenure, including the DOJ's handling of files

from Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking probe.

She also faced heat for pushing large-scale firings and launching investigations into

Trump's political rivals.

Folks online are buzzing about the quick takedown, seeing it as a symbolic wipe-out of her

short stint.

Bondi, who jumped from Florida Attorney General to this role last year, had her own history

with these portraits.

She bragged about yanking down.

Times of President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Attorney General Merrick

Garland, right when she started.

This trash can drama marks the second round of portrait drama tied to Bondi at the DOJ.

No word yet from officials on whether it's standard procedure or something more pointed.

In the end, it underscores how fast power shifts can erase legacies in Washington, leaving

us watching for the next chapter in this revolving door.
