President Donald Trump has privately mused about firing his Attorney General Pam Bondi and replacing her with EPA administrator Lee Zeldin, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
Frustrated by the backlash and anger in his base over the administrations handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, Trump has asked people about replacing Bondi, who faces a deposition later this month on Capitol Hill related to the congressional investigation into the late sex trafficker, the sources said. He has also fumed that she hasnt investigated enough of his political opponents.
Its not clear the president has made up his mind, the sources told CNN. Bondi was with Trump Wednesday, riding in his motorcade as he attended the Supreme Court arguments on birthright citizenship. Trump voiced confidence in her in a statement to CNN. Attorney General Pam Bondi is a wonderful person and she is doing a good job, the president said.
Asked for comment, the Justice Department referred to the White House statement. A source familiar with the matter told CNN that Trump and Bondi have spoken repeatedly in the past several days, and that the discussions were business as usual.
