On the short drive from the White House to the Supreme Court on Wednesday, Pam Bondi was informed by the president that she was being removed as attorney general. Sources close to Bondi said it was hard to pinpoint a specific moment that led to her ultimate demise. The job took a toll on Bondi too, who sources said believed that she was at times being asked to do the impossible. During Bondi’s time as attorney general, the department did land some cases in court that were pleasing to Trump. Meetings on so-called anti-weaponization efforts increased, as did pressure on prosecutors overseeing investigations that were important to Trump, sources familiar with the matter said.
