Summary
President Donald Trump has ousted Attorney General Pam Bondi and named Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as her acting replacement. Blanche, a former personal defense lawyer for Trump, could serve in the role for up to 210 days. Trump is considering several candidates for the permanent position, including Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin and Judge Jeanine Pirro. The move comes as Trump faces the possibility of Senate Republicans losing their majority in the midterms, which could complicate the confirmation process for a new attorney general.
