Trump’s important decision. The American president announced this Thursday afternoon that he has dismissed the , whom he has defined as a “great patriot” and “loyal friend.” His position will be occupied on an interim basis by the current deputy attorney general, Todd Blanche.
“We love Pam very much, and she will occupy a new position (very necessary and important) in the private sector, which will be announced at a later date,” the North American president said on his social network Truth Social.
According to Fox Newsa media outlet that reported the news a few minutes earlier citing White House sources, reportedly informed Bondi of his resignation late on Wednesday.
“Pam Bondi is a great American patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my attorney general for the last year,” Trump added in his message, stating that the lawyer “did an extraordinary job overseeing a massive crackdown on crime across our country.”
“Our Deputy Attorney General (an extremely talented and respected legal mind), Todd Blanche, will take over as Acting Attorney General,” Trump clarified in his message.
The setbacks of the Prosecutor’s Office with Bondi at the helm
Since the middle of last year when the issue of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s files began to work against the Government, Bondi has tried to shelve it without apparent success.
Even among the Trumpist bases, this continues to be considered a convoluted and obscure case that the president has not been able to clarify despite the fact that the Department of Justice, reluctantly, ended up making public hundreds of thousands of documents.
In turn, the Prosecutor’s Office has suffered a series of setbacks in court when trying to indict different figures against whom Trump has sworn to take judicial revenge, from the Attorney General of New York, Letitia James, to six Democratic legislators who urged the US military to disobey orders that were illegal or the president of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell.
Bondi, 60, began publicly supporting Trump at the beginning of the last decade when he was attorney general of Florida, and within the Cabinet he appointed in January 2025, she has been considered one of the most loyal figures to the American president.
Blanche, 51, has defended as a lawyer several figures very close to Trump, such as the former mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani, and has also represented Trump in the case related to the Republican’s covert payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels.
As deputy attorney general, he has been in charge of leading a prison interrogation with Ghislaine Maxwell, ex-partner and main recruiter for the deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
