He dropped the news on True Social, calling her a loyal friend and saying she's heading to a big private sector gig. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche steps in as Acting AG right away. Bondi's time at the Justice Department was full of drama. The former Florida Attorney General shook things up big time, firing a bunch of career staff and pushing probes into Trump's critics. She promised to keep politics out, but that didn't last long. Folks are reacting strong to this shake-up. Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace came out cheering the move, blasting Bondi for messing up the Jeffrey Epstein files and hurting Trump's image. Conservatives had been piling on her for months over that. The real heat came from how the DOJ handled Epstein's sex trafficking docs, plus failed attempts to nail Trump's rivals, judges, and grand jury shuttons.
