US President Donald Trump removed Attorney General Pam Bondi from her post on Thursday, a White House official said, following mounting frustration with her performance, including her handling of investigative files related to the ​late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. But it was ​repeated criticism over the Epstein files, including from Trump allies and some Republican lawmakers, that came to dominate her ​tenure. US Attorney General Pam Bondi, the nation's top law enforcement officer, arrives to face questions in the House Judiciary Committee at the Capitol in Washington on Wednesday, February 11. Bondi early last year played into fevered speculation about ​the Epstein files, saying a client list was on her desk for review. The Republican-led House Oversight ​Committee voted to subpoena Bondi and she was set to testify on April 14.
