President Donald Trump has reportedly already fired Attorney General Pam Bondi, according to two sources familiar with the matter who spoke with Fox News Digital.

Bondi met with Trump in the Oval Office on Wednesday night ahead of his speech to the nation on the war in Iran where was reportedly informed of her ouster, according to two sources familiar with the meeting.

One of those sources said that by the time Trump took his place behind the podium for the address, Bondi had already lost her job and was on her way back to Florida.

Trump is reportedly considering replacing Bondi with Environmental Protection Agency Director Lee Zelin, according to the sources familiar with the matter. Trump held a meeting with Zeldin at the White House Tuesday to discuss wildfire and prevention, where talks of the transition also unfolded, according to an individual familiar with the meeting.

That source relayed to Fox News Digital that Zeldin would be a plausible replacement, adding that Trump could change his mind at any point.

Not on my TV. Probably because Xfinity and Scripps, the local CBS affiliate, are in contract fights and we don’t get it.

Scripps is greedy. They did the same for months in Little Rock with Dish Network.

Bondi has done a very good job of taking control of the insubordinate DOJ that has tried to sabotage the Trump Admin at every turn and she has an excellent record of supporting the Trump Administration litigation.

She has not been as aggressive prosecuting the crimes that have been uncovered and the DOJ response to the corruption in Minnesota has horrible. There was a ton of media attention and momentum on the Minnesota fraud that just flat died. One of the biggest missed opportunities and self inflicted wounds of the Trump Administration.

Buy there are two recent issues that may have killed Bondi's job future - the first is her reported tip off of Eric Swalwell of upcoming DOJ action against him . Swalwell is apparently a personal friend of Bondi. This on top of the fact that her DOJ head in Fulton County also tipped off the Fulton County Elections people and Fani Willis about the impending FBI seizure of the 2020 election records which is a huge breach of operational security that may have given the Futon County people time to destroy evidence

The other is a stunning and potentially very damaging development in the J6 pipe bombing case where the DOJ has possibly withheld evidence that the previous suspect under investigation , Capitol Police officer Shauni Kerkhof, failed a polygraph test when asked if she planted the bombs and acted in a very rehearsed, coached and suspicious manner during interviews

And her much vaunted alibi tape of her “playing with her puppies” is nothing more than a cell phone video her voice , which could easily could have been recorded on another device and played during the video to manufacture an alibi with her DC police boyfriend who may have been an accomplice.

This could end up being an epic disaster for the Trump Admin right before the 2026 election

Hate to say it, but if the above is true, it's time for Bondi to spend more time with her family .

Put ted cruz in as AG. Texas governor appoints paxton to cruz job. Cornyn runs unopposed to keep his job. Then fill next scotus vacancy with cruz.

*THAT* is a very interesting idea.

Ted Cruz is one of the best conservative legal minds of our generation.

However, I’m not certain he’d want the job and at least for now, not sure it’s the best time to put two TX senate seats up in the near-term.

But, still - an intriguing thought!

But it would put the fear into some of them... And only the first whistleblowers get the best plea deals.

She is smart. She knows if she started prosecuting and jailing Swamp Filth, then the next Dem AG would come after her and her family.

The Swamp is very powerful.

Just in on Fox Biz, Todd Blanche to become Interim AG.

Blanche needs to go, too. Yet another poor choice by Trump. Judging by most of his cabinet picks, Trump just does not seem to be comfortable at all with genuine conservatives. He's chosen a couple, but most of his picks have been "moderates" or former Democrats.

Yeah, and he (Todd Blanche) is the one that has been slow-walking all the prosecutions of the Democrats.

“Already”?

Well, maybe we’ll get one that can prosecute the worthless commies that have been attacking our nation from within for decades. No more olive branches, prosecute, prosecute, prosecute.

It’s just a shame he couldn’t have the men he wanted for 45 (Giuliani) and 47 (Gaetz).

Understand..Arrest does not mean conviction.

But without one you can't have the other and we don't have any of the one.

People will just have unrealistic expectations.

Like arrests and stuff and the response will be it takes a long time to put these big cases together. And the band plays on. How long did it take the dems to put a few hundred J6ers in jail many without any trial or even a hearing, denying many the right to have counsel. How many of our heroes complained eve a little bit?
