Attorney General Pam Bondi is leaving her post as head of the US Justice Department, ending a tumultuous tenure as the nation’s top law enforcement official after some high-profile stumbling blocks in her efforts to carry out President Donald Trump’s agenda.

“We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future, and our Deputy Attorney General, and a very talented and respected Legal Mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

In choosing Blanche to serve as acting attorney general, Trump has elevated another one of his former defense lawyers to be the nation’s chief law enforcement officer.
Blanche served as Trump’s defense attorney in criminal cases relating to the 2020 election, his handling of classified documents and alleged hush-money payments.

Blanche can serve in the acting role for 210 days under a federal law for filling vacancies while the Senate considers whoever Trump nominates to be confirmed as attorney general.
The president has discussed Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin as a potential replacement for Bondi, according to people familiar with the matter.
