President Donald Trump has ousted Pam Bondi as attorney general, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.

She will be replaced for now by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, the source said.

Trump had in recent days talked to allies about the possibility of firing Bondi, and he talked with her personally on Wednesday about the possibility it would happen, sources said. In the conversation, which one source described as “tough,” Trump indicated Bondi was not long for her role and he would be replacing her in the near future, sources said.

Edit: NBC confirms, quoting Trump:

"We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future," he said in a Truth Social post, adding that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche would take over as the department's acting attorney general.

Pam is a prime example. I've heard people who knew her personally describe her as cunning, perhaps wily, but definitely not the brightest and best.
