Lawmakers React to Ousting of Attorney General Pam Bondi

Both Democratic and Republican lawmakers cited Bondi's handling of Epstein files and alleged Justice Department politicization in supporting her removal, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump removed Attorney General Pam Bondi, praising her as a "Great American Patriot" while announcing her transition to an unspecified private sector role.
  • Bondi's removal follows months of scrutiny over the Department of Justice's handling of Jeffrey Epstein files, which lawmakers described as undermining transparency and accountability.
  • The Justice Department missed a December deadline to release documents, eventually releasing more than 3 million pages on January 30, though lawmakers argued many were heavily redacted or improperly withheld.
  • Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will temporarily assume Bondi's duties, though she remains subpoenaed to testify before the House Oversight Committee regarding the Epstein files on April 14.
  • Legislators like Rep. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie continue demanding full release of all Epstein files, asserting that Bondi's successor must "prosecute the rich and powerful men who abused young girls.
