Chapter 1: What led to President Trump's firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi?
Bondi is out. I'm Ted Lindner, Fox News. President Trump firing the Attorney General Pam Bondi Thursday. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch stepping up to take her place. Fox's Kevin Cork in Washington reports the president may have replacements in mind.
Multiple sources say her problems began just weeks into the job when she appeared on Fox in February of 2025. The DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients. Will that really happen? It's sitting on my desk right now to review. But there was no client list to speak of.
Then, of course, last July, the DOJ put out that memo announcing the Epstein case would essentially be closed, noting, quote, this systematic review revealed no incriminating client list.
Now, in addition to Blanche being a possible replacement, others being floated for the post include EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harvey Dillon, and even Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Bondi said she'll take a job in the private sector and continue helping Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch transition into the office. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth forced out the Army's top officer. The Pentagon says Army Chief of Staff General Randy George will retire from his post effective immediately. And the first U.S.
attack on Iran's civilian infrastructure after President Trump threatened to bomb the country into the Stone Ages if a deal can't be reached.
CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper posted that it's undeniable that progress is being made. The president's post on Truth Socially posted video of a bridge that was being destroyed. That's the B1 Bridge, about 25 miles west of Tehran. The president posted the video with the text, it's time for Iran to make a deal before it's too late.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arachi countered with a post saying striking civilian structures won't compel Iranians to surrender. It only conveys defeat and moral collapse of an enemy in disarray.

Even in space, you gotta go. And the Orion capsule has a space toilet or hygiene bay. Smaller than what's on the International Space Station, NASA calls it the Universal Waste Management System.
