President Donald Trump has reportedly removed Attorney General Pam Bondi from her post, according to sources cited by Fox News Digital. The report said Bondi was informed of the decision during a meeting at the White House shortly before Trump’s national address on the Iran war.
Sources told Fox News Digital that Bondi had already left Washington by the time Trump delivered his speech. However, the Justice Department denied the claim, stating Bondi was present for the address, while the White House did not fully confirm the reported ouster.

According to the report, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin is being considered as a potential replacement. Trump had recently met Zeldin, where discussions reportedly included a possible transition.
The reported move follows growing dissatisfaction within the administration over the Justice Department’s performance under Bondi. Despite this, Trump has publicly praised her work. The situation remains unclear, with conflicting accounts and no official confirmation of a leadership change.
