Who Will Trump Pick to Replace Pam Bondi?
“Pam Bondi is a great American patriot and loyal friend, who has faithfully served as Attorney General over the past year. Pam has done a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown on crime across our country, with murders falling to their lowest levels since 1900,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a very necessary and important new job in the private sector, which will be announced in the near future, and our Deputy Attorney General and a very talented and respected legal scholar, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General.”
This is a surprising development given that other fired Trump officials have been given another role in the administration. Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was fired last month, is now special envoy to the “Shield of the Americas.” Former national security adviser Mike Waltz, fired last year over Signalgate, became U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
Bondi became attorney general after former Congressman Matt Gaetz’s nomination was derailed by a House ethics investigation that found “substantial evidence” that he had sex with a man. minor girl. Bondi was confirmed by a vote of 54-46 in the Senate, with John Fetterman the only Democrat to vote yes.
