Fox News Reports Trump Fired Pam Bondi After White House Meeting
Fox News reports that Attorney General Pam Bondi has already been fired, but multiple outlets say the decision may not be final.
The conflicting accounts have created immediate uncertainty, with questions about whether Bondi has been removed or is still in her role.
According to Fox News, sources said Bondi was dismissed after a White House meeting, with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin under consideration as a replacement.
However, the Associated Press and Reuters report that President Donald Trump has only discussed firing Bondi and has not formally taken action, directly contradicting the Fox News account.
“Attorney General Pam Bondi is a wonderful person and she is doing a good job,” Trump said, according to Reuters.

The reported move follows mounting backlash over Bondi’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents, including delayed releases and redactions that triggered criticism from lawmakers and political allies.
The situation highlights a broader pattern of internal pressure inside the administration, where public messaging and private deliberations appear increasingly out of sync.
A final determination on Bondi’s status is expected soon, with Lee Zeldin widely viewed as a leading replacement option if a change is confirmed.
For now, her position remains uncertain.
