Pam Bondi Fired as AG, Todd Blanche Takes Over

0:00On April 2nd, Pam Bondi is out as U.S. Attorney General, just one year after getting sworn in back in February, 2025. President Trump made the call to fire her on Thursday, April 2nd, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is stepping in temporarily to fill the spot. The big issues came down to her handling of the Epstein files, which rubbed Trump the wrong way, plus complaints that she did not go after enough of. His political opponents with prosecutions. This move echoes what happened last month, with former DHS Secretary Christy Knowham, who got booted from her job and shifted over to a special envoy role. For the shield of the Americas, sources say Bondi will likely land in some other position soon, keeping her in the fold but out of the top legal spot. Word is still coming in on the full details, but it looks like shakeups in the Justice Department are far from over. That's your entertainment and celebrity news today update.
