President Trump says Pam Bondi will transition to a job in the private sector and top Justice Department Deputy Todd Blanche will serve as acting Attorney General until a new AG is confirmed.
Sources tell Fox News Digital Bondi was fired by the president in an Oval Office meeting Wednesday night.
Bondi had accompanied President Trump earlier that day to attend Supreme Court arguments over his executive order on birthright citizenship.
The president did not announce a new role for Bondi in the administration, but says in a social media post she is a patriot and loyal friend who faithfully served as attorney general and did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in crime across the country.
