President Donald Trump informed Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday that her time leading the Department of Justice was nearing its end, according to a source familiar with the discussion.

White House Visit and Conversation

The conversation took place while Bondi was at the White House for President Trump’s address regarding the Iran conflict. Earlier in the day, she accompanied the President to the Supreme Court for oral arguments in a significant case concerning birthright citizenship.

White House Response and Potential Replacements

The White House did not directly confirm the report. Instead, officials directed inquiries to a previous statement from President Trump praising Bondi’s work.

Zeldin as a Potential Successor

While no formal announcement has been made, Lee Zeldin, the current administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, has been frequently mentioned as a possible replacement for Bondi. Zeldin previously served as a congressman representing New York.

A representative for Zeldin declined to comment on whether he had discussed a potential new role with President Trump.
