Trump fires Bondi as attorney general | PBS News

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says Pam Bondi is out as his attorney general, ending the contentious tenure of a loyalist who upended the Justice Department's culture of independence from the White House, oversaw large-scale firings of career employees and moved aggressively to investigate the Republican president's perceived enemies. 

The announcement follows months of scrutiny over the Justice Department's handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking investigation that made Bondi the target of angry conservatives even with her close relationship with Trump. She also struggled to satisfy Trump's demands to prosecute his political rivals, with multiple investigations rejected by judges or grand juries...

Democrats wary of attorney general pick’s loyalty to Trump after hearing

The hearing was unlikely to allay concerns held by Democrats that she would be able to resist political interference by Trump given her personal loyalty to him, including when she supported Trump's 2020 election fraud claims and joined his legal defense team at his first impeachment trial. 

That loyalty to Trump has also raised hackles at the justice department, which prides itself on its independence from White House pressure and recalls with a deep fear how Trump in his first term ousted top officials when they stopped acquiescing to his demands...
