Shortly after news broke that President Donald Trump fired her, Attorney General Pam Bondi took to X to announce the departure on as close to her terms as she could manage.
"Over the next month I will be working tirelessly to transition the office of Attorney General to the amazing Todd Blanche before moving to an important private sector role I am thrilled about, and where I will continue fighting for President Trump and this Administration," wrote Bondi.

"Leading President Trump’s historic and highly successful efforts to make America safer and more secure has been the honor of a lifetime, and easily the most consequential first year of the Department of Justice in American history," she continued. "Since February 2025, we have secured the lowest murder rate in 125 years, secured first-ever terrorism convictions against members of Antifa, shattered domestic and transnational gangs across the country, taken custody of more than 90 key cartel figures, and won 24 favorable rulings at the Supreme Court."
"I remain eternally grateful for the trust that President Trump placed in me to Make America Safe Again," Bondi concluded.
Trump has reportedly been frustrated with Bondi for months, ever since her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case review began dominating the news and tore a rift among his supporters. However, some reports also suggest Trump's inner circle suspected her of tipping off Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) that the Justice Department planned to release embarrassing files on him.
