Donald Trump is preparing to replace Attorney General Pam Bondi, the Daily Mail can reveal, after speaking to several sources familiar with his thinking. Trump informed the attorney general last night shortly before his Iran speech that she would soon be leaving the Justice Department, according to a senior administration source. Bondi responded by pleading for the President to give her more time in the role, but Trump remained firm that her time leading the agency was over, the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal. 'She was unhappy and tried to change his mind,' the source said.

Robert Mueller is dead, but his toxic legacy lives on in the destroyed lives of the innocent victims targeted by the Russia collusion probe that bears his name. To understand why President Trump had no kind words for the former FBI director when he died over the weekend at age 81, you have to understand the human toll on the president and dozens of his friends and allies.Who knows whether Mueller, who had Parkinson’s, was in command of all his faculties when he was appointed special counsel at age 72? But the deep state evildoers on his team knew exactly...
