BREAKING: President Trump OUSTS AG Pam Bondi, Here’s Who Will Replace Her

The rumors were true.

President Trump has ousted AG Pam Bondi.

The 47th President reportedly fired Bondi after speaking with her at the White House on Wednesday night.

Deputy AG Todd Blanche will serve as an interim Attorney General.

Fox News broke the news:

President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi Wednesday, according to two sources familiar with the matter who spoke with Fox News Digital.

Bondi met with Trump in the Oval Office Wednesday night ahead of his speech to the nation on the war in Iran, according to two sources familiar with the meeting.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will serve as interim attorney general, Fox News reported.

Trump is reportedly considering replacing Bondi with Environmental Protection Agency Director Lee Zeldin, according to the sources familiar with the matter. Trump held a meeting with Zeldin at the White House Tuesday to discuss wildfire and prevention, where talks of the transition also unfolded, according to an individual familiar with the meeting.

That source relayed to Fox News Digital that Zeldin would be a plausible replacement, adding that Trump could change his mind at any point.

The White House told Fox News that the pair still have a good relationship despite the ousting.

Read President Trump’s post regarding Bondi being replaced:

Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year. Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900.

We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future, and our Deputy Attorney General, and a very talented and respected Legal Mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General.

Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
