Pam Bondi, the former US Attorney General, expressed her gratitude to President Donald Trump in her first remarks following her dismissal. She plans to transition to a private sector role while continuing to support the Trump administration. Bondi described her time leading the Justice Department as an 'honour of a lifetime,' noting significant achievements such as the lowest murder rate in 125 years and successful terrorism convictions. Trump's decision to fire Bondi came after criticism of her handling of files related to accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. He referred to her as a 'Great American Patriot' and stated she would move to an important new job in the private sector. Bondi's departure has been anticipated due to mounting pressure from both parties regarding her performance, particularly concerning Epstein's case.
