Bondi is a longtime Trump ally and former Florida Attorney General.
CBI News understands that President Donald Trump has fired Pam Bondi as US Attorney General, citing frustration with her performance, particularly over the handling of Jeffrey Epstein's files.
Bondi, a longtime Trump ally and former Florida Attorney General, had faced criticism for lack of transparency and slow pace of prosecutions.
Trump praised Bondi as a "Great American Patriot and a loyal friend" and announced Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will serve as acting Attorney General.
The move comes amid scrutiny over the Justice Department's handling of sensitive investigations, with critics accusing Bondi of prioritizing Trump's political interests over justice.
Bondi was set to testify before the House Oversight Committee on April 14 regarding the Epstein files.
