WASHINGTON D.C. ~ President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi Thursday afternoon, multiple inside sources told news outlets.

Rumors had swirled in the media during the days prior to that Trump was becoming more and more frustrated with Bondi, thinking that she wasn’t reaching the goals he wanted for the Department of Justice. Reports indicate that she will be replaced by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for the time being, though Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin is believed to be the leading person to replace Bondi.
