Trump Fires Bondi, Taps Blanche as Acting AG

0:00On April 2nd, President Trump just fired Attorney General Pam Bondi after a rocky run at the Justice Department. He tapped Todd Blanche as Acting Attorney General until he picks a permanent replacement. This marks the second cabinet shake-up in under a month. It all went down last night, right before Trump's speech on Iran. A top source says he told her she was out, and she headed back to Florida this morning. She stuck around the White House for the speech anyway. Bondi pushed back hard, begging for more time, but Trump held firm. Her time was played by flack over the Jeffrey Epstein files and questions about transparency. Folks were mad she didn't go after his political foes aggressively enough. Word is, she even stepped in on matters tied to Eric Swalwell, maybe because of their friendly history, and that irked to the White House. Meanwhile, Blanche is stepping up. Fresh off a big CPAC appearance where conservatives cheered him on. Trump's eyeing megapix like EPA head Lee Zeldin for the full gig, and with media buzzing, expect that announcement any minute now.
