Attorney General Pam Bondi begged Donald Trump not to fire her in an explosive showdown at the White House after he accused her of an unforgivable offense. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will serve as acting attorney general until a permanent nominee is picked. Trump informed her of the decision shortly before his prime-time Iran war address to the nation, a senior administration source told the Daily Mail. However, the President told her she was fired and that an announcement would be made shortly. 'Attorney General Pam Bondi is a wonderful person and she is doing a good job,' Trump told Semafor on Thursday morning.
