Trump Has Spoken Of Firing Attorney General Pam Bondi Amid Epstein File Backlash
Trump has considered replacing Bondi with Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, according to The New York Times.
The president has reportedly not made a final decision on the matter and described Bondi as a “wonderful person” who is “doing a good job” in a statement to the Times and CNN, the latter of which spoke to an unnamed source familiar with the matter who said discussions between Trump and Bondi were “business as usual.”
A spokesman for Bondi referred to Trump’s comment, according to the Times, which reported, citing unnamed sources, Trump has been souring on the attorney general amid complaints about her handling of the Epstein files.
Bondi was recently subpoenaed in the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and has not committed to testifying on the matter, which she previously did in front of the House Judiciary Committee in February.
