Bondi out as attorney general

Yesterday, President Donald Trump announced that Attorney General Pam Bondi is leaving the Department of Justice for the private sector and named Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as acting attorney general. Trump described Bondi as a “loyal friend.” Blanche previously served as Trump’s personal defense attorney in several criminal cases and has been a vocal critic of federal district “rogue activist judges” who have issued injunctions blocking administration policies, describing it as a legal “war.”
