Pam Bondi fired as U.S Attorney General

Last month, Trump also removed Kristi Noem as head of the Department of Homeland Security. One source said the firing went smoothly, which made Trump less worried about removing others.

In the recent week, Trump reportedly even talked with his allies about possibly firing Bondi. He also spoke with her directly about it on Wednesday last week, sources told CNN. One source described the conversation as “tough.” During the talk, Trump reportedly suggested that Bondi would not stay in her position much longer and that he planned to replace her soon.

Meanwhile, Bondi was told she was being fired the evening before the news was made public. It happened shortly before Trump gave a primetime speech about the Iran conflict. A senior official told The Daily Mail that Bondi asked him to rethink his decision, but he did not change his mind.

It came after Trump and Bondi appeared together before the US Supreme Court, where a ruling blocked his plan to end birthright citizenship earlier that day.

There are also reports that they had a serious argument the week before, but it is not clear what it was about. Her removal comes after other recent changes, including the firing of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and speculation that National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard could also be fired over a social media mishap linked to the Trump administration’s actions in Iran.

Breaks silence with major claim

Shortly after she was fired, Pam Bondi broke her silence. Taking to social media, Bondi thanked Donald Trump for the opportunity to serve as Attorney General. Moreover, she claimed that Trump’s first year of his second presidential term was “the most consequential first year of the Department of Justice in American history.”

“Over the next month, I will be working tirelessly to transition the office of Attorney General to the amazing Todd Blanche before moving to an important private sector role I am thrilled about, and where I will continue fighting for President Trump and this Administration,” Pam Bondi wrote on X.

“Leading President Trump’s historic and highly successful efforts to make America safer and more secure has been the honor of a lifetime, and easily the most consequential first year of the Department of Justice in American history. Since February 2025, we have secured the lowest murder rate in 125 years, secured first-ever terrorism convictions against members of Antifa, shattered domestic and transnational gangs across the country, taken custody of more than 90 key cartel figures, and won 24 favorable rulings at the Supreme Court.”

Bondi concluded, “I remain eternally grateful for the trust that President Trump placed in me to Make America Safe Again.”
