Trump’s former criminal defense attorney Todd Blanche will step into interim attorney general role after Bondi’s departure

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.

    This is coming as it is becoming less and less possible to suppress a major Epstein revelation that has been trying to come out, starting just before the first bombs started flying.

    There is an Epstein witness who claimed that when she was 13 years old, she was given to Trump, and when he forced her to perform oral sex, she bit his little wiener, which he responded to by punching her in the face. In 2019, during the first Trump administration, she was interviewed by the FBI 4 times, indicating that they found her very credible. They have also talked to other witnesses who can corroborate parts of her story, which is why they kept coming back for clarification. Reportedly, they have found her totally credible.

    As if that’s not bad enough, there are reportedly 10 photos that accompany her story, which can’t be released because they are CSA images. I read a description of one, and it was horrific, including multiple men, blood, and the girl looking like she was semi-conscious. She reported that she felt like she was going to die that night.

    This story has been coming closer and closer to the surface, and it may be that Bondi is finding it difficult to keep it under wraps. Perhaps she’s told Trump she’s going to have to release this report, and this talk is him tightening the leash. If she gets fired, you can trust that the new guy won’t. That’s another count of Obstruction of Justice.
