After the dismissal of the Minister of Justice Pam Bondi, other representatives could also leave the administration of US President Donald Trump. This is indicated by the information of The Atlantic magazine, according to which the White House is actively discussing the departure of the director of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Kash Patel, the Secretary of Land Forces of the Department of Defense Daniel Driscoll and the Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer.
- Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi from office.
- There is talk of the possible departure of several other representatives.
- The reason was the disputes surrounding the investigations and the Epstein case.
- In the White House, intense discussions about personnel changes are taking place.
Reuters pointed out that it could not independently verify the magazine’s report. In the article, The Atlantic reporter Ashley Parker referred to sources familiar with the White House’s plans. However, it is not known when exactly and if at all the departure of the mentioned representatives should take place. According to available information, Trump has not yet made up his mind.
“Trump has the most talented administration and team in the history of the United States. Patriots like Kash Patel, Lori Chavez-DeRemer and Dan Driscoll are tirelessly implementing the president’s agenda and achieving tremendous results for the American people,” White House spokesman Davis Ingle said in an emailed response to questions.
He called her off despite the praise
On Thursday, the US president announced that he had removed Bondi from the post of attorney general. He himself praised her for “an excellent job overseeing a large-scale crackdown on crime”, but according to media sources, he was angry with how she handled the case of the files of the poor financier Jeffrey Epstein, convicted of sexually abusing underage girls, or the fact that she did not sufficiently investigate Trump’s political opponents.
Trump was initially unwilling to “fire” any of his closest aides, seeing it as a concession to Democrats and the media. However, the political situation has been changed by the declining support of the president since the start of the war with Iran, The Atlantic wrote.
At the end of March, the US Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noemová, was dismissed by Trump. The White House chief made the announcement at the time just two days after Noem attended a congressional hearing from Republicans and Democrats and was subjected to harsh criticism.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asked US Army Chief of Staff Randy George to resign from his post. The publicized information was later confirmed by Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell, who wrote on the X network that George is leaving his position with immediate effect.
