Summary
President Donald Trump has reportedly fired Attorney General Pam Bondi, according to two sources familiar with the matter. Bondi met with Trump in the Oval Office on Wednesday night, where she was informed of her ouster. Trump is considering replacing Bondi with Environmental Protection Agency Director Lee Zeldin. The alleged ouster follows a recent report detailing Trump’s dissatisfaction with Bondi’s performance. The White House has not confirmed the information, but a source described it as “not cold.”
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Bondi’s meeting with Trump in the Oval Office was a familiar setting for a dismissal. The timing of the meeting, ahead of Trump’s speech on the war in Iran, added to the sense of routine. The fact that Bondi was on her way back to Florida by the time Trump took the podium felt like a well-rehearsed exit. The consideration of Lee Zeldin as a replacement added to the sense of predictability. The White House’s non-denial of the information only added to the feeling of inevitability.
