President Donald Trump has privately discussed the possibility of firing Attorney General Pam Bondi and replacing her with Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Frustration with Bondi's Performance

The conversations reportedly reflect Trump’s ongoing frustration with Bondi regarding her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Sources also indicated concerns over hurdles encountered by the Justice Department in investigations related to individuals Trump perceives as his enemies.

Zeldin as a Potential Replacement

While other candidates have been mentioned, President Trump has reportedly raised Lee Zeldin’s name as recently as this week as a potential replacement for Attorney General Bondi. The sources were not authorized to discuss the private conversations publicly and spoke to the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.

This news comes amidst other recent developments, including a Colorado appeals court ruling for resentencing in a 2020 election fraud case, a fix for a malfunctioning toilet on NASA’s Artemis II mission, a 4.6 magnitude earthquake in Northern California, and ongoing protests regarding the naming of buildings at Ohio State University.
