US President Donald Trump is reportedly firing Attorney General Pam Bondi as he seems dissatisfied with her leadership at the justice.

A source close to the matter suggested Trump is considering the decision to replace Bondi with Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.

Though the final decision has yet to be made, several reports suggested Trump has raised concerns regarding Bondi’s dealing with the ongoing situation.

Shelby Talcott, the White House correspondent for Semafor, stated that Bondi is aware that her time as Attorney General is coming to an end.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Talcott stated, “News: The president has informed Pam Bondi that her time as AG is nearing an end, multiple sources tell me.”

“Formal announcement hasn’t yet come aka all the normal caveats that he could change his mind apply; he’s been speaking with advisors on a possible replacement in recent days (as others have reported this week) and Bondi is aware of that as well,” Talcott added.

Notably, Bondi has received immense criticism from both Democrats and Republicans due to her way of handling matters tied to Jeffrey Epstein.
