Lee Zeldin
Multiple sources confirm the 47th president already fired Attorney General Pam Bondi and replaced her with none other than EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, citing Fox News, that President Donald Trump has already fired Bondi following a meeting on Wednesday.
While Pam Bondi was brought in to restore order after the initial withdrawal of Matt Gaetz, insiders suggest the President has grown increasingly frustrated with the slow-walking of critical investigations.
Trump has privately fumed that Bondi hasn’t been aggressive enough in going after his political enemies, the same corrupt actors who weaponized the DOJ against him for years.
Lee Zeldin’s name has repeatedly surfaced as the leading candidate to step in if Bondi is removed.
“When Trump met EPA boss Lee Zeldin on Tuesday to discuss last year’s California wildfires, Trump also discussed the potential of tapping him for the AG role, a person close to the WH tells me,” Politico’s Dasha Burns reported.
A person familiar with the situation tells me that Pam Bondi will be out as AG imminently, confirming scoops from @CNN and @nytimes.

Lee Zeldin, the former New York Congressman, Iraq War veteran, and fearless America First fighter who nearly flipped the Empire State red in 2022. As EPA Administrator, Zeldin has already been dismantling the radical green agenda, slashing regulations, and putting American energy dominance first.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) weighed in on the reports, making it clear that some Republicans are ready for a change at the top of the Justice Department.
If the reports that Lee Zeldin will be replacing Pam Bondi as Attorney General are true – I welcome it.
Bondi handled the Epstein Files in a terrible manner and made this situation far worse than it had to be for President Trump.
I look forward to a new Attorney General…
