Is he losing his mind? Engulfed in his illegal war against Iran since February 28, Donald Trump made a radical decision on the domestic front on Thursday, April 2: firing Pam Bondi, the Minister of Justice.
This information, confirmed by several US media, was also confirmed by the person concerned. The former lawyer of the White House tenant, faithful among his faithful in the MAGA galaxy (Make America Great Again), held this crucial position for 14 months, for which she had been unexpectedly propelled.
“We love Pam, and she will adapt to a new very important and necessary job in the private sector, which will be announced soon,” commented Donald Trump on his Truth Social network. Pam Bondi is being replaced on an interim basis by Todd Blanche, deputy attorney general and also a former advisor to the Republican billionaire. She is the second member of his cabinet to be sacrificed in recent weeks, as Kristi Noem, secretary of the Interior Security, had suffered the same fate last month.
Why such a decision? While the US president has not yet motivated it, his relationship with Pam Bondi has deteriorated, notably due to her calamitous handling of the Epstein files publication. Some remember, for example, the insults that the former minister had hurled at democratic representatives during her hearing before Congress, a meeting that had turned into a brawl.
