Trump dismisses top state prosecutor Pam Bondi, announces move to private sector

(Patria) - US President Donald Trump has dismissed Pam Bondi from the position of top state prosecutor. As he stated on the Truth Social network, Bondi will continue her career in the private sector.

The current deputy, Todd Blanche, has been appointed as her interim replacement.

In recent days, Trump has been intensively discussing the possibility of dismissing Bondi with his closest associates, and on Wednesday, he had a personal conversation with her. According to sources, the conversation was "difficult," and Trump made it clear to her that she would not remain in her position for much longer.

Interestingly, two sources confirmed that Trump mentioned the possibility of appointing her as a judge after she leaves the Department of Justice, telling her that she would receive "another assignment" later.

Dissatisfaction with investigations and Epstein's files

According to CNN, Trump has long been frustrated with Pam Bondi's work on multiple fronts. He was particularly bothered by her handling of Jeffrey Epstein's files, and he was also visibly dissatisfied because, in his opinion, she did not sufficiently investigate or prosecute his political opponents.
