Trump has privately considered replacing Pam Bondi with Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, sources close to the matter told The New York Times

Attorney General Pam Bondi will be out of her role “imminently,” according to a report.

On Thursday, sources confirmed to Politico that Bondi is likely on the way out of the Donald Trump administration, and that Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin could be her replacement.

The Politico report comes hours after the New York Times reported that Trump has considered replacing Bondi over the backlash over her handling of the Epstein files, according to new reports.

            It shouldn’t be a surprise. This is exactly what happened last time he was president. Trump was going through people so fast that many roles sat vacant.

              Pam lasted a little over 38 Mooches, she can be proud of that! Unfortunately for her she leaves while the DOW is no longer 50,000

          Tbh I think he’s being kept around as a scapegoat. But also, yeah, I 100% expect his being brown to be used as part of that scapegoating (à la “if only a good ol’ white boy were in charge, we wouldn’t be in this mess shakes head”).

            That’s all any of them are for. They’re just too self absorbed to realize that they’re not the special one that’ll escape it.
