Trump has dismissed Attorney General Pam Bondi after several disagreements over the management of the Espstein case

The President of the United States put him in office in November 2024, but during this time there have been several confrontations. He will be replaced by Todd Blanch, the lawyer who defended him in the four criminal charges he received before Trump became president.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that Attorney GeneralPam Bondi   will leave the government and be temporarily replaced by "current number two," Todd Blanche.

In addition to being Deputy Attorney General, Blanche has served as Trump's defense attorney in the four criminal charges he faced before being elected president.

"We love Pam very much, and in the private sectorhe will occupy a very necessary and important new position  that will soon be announced. And our Attorney General's Deputy, Todd Blanche, who is very talented and respected, will take over as Attorney General, "Trump has announced on social media.

The head of the White House has stressed that the head of the Justice Department is "a great American patriot and a loyal friend," and has defended "his excellent work in overseeing the crackdown on crime throughout the country."

Despite these friendly words, in recent months Donald Trump has repeatedly shown his frustration with Bondi for being "lukewarm" in pursuing Trump's enemies and managing the Epstein case files.
