Chapter 2: What led to President Trump firing Attorney General Pam Bondi?
It's all we've been talking about for the past day or so. As our own Mary Margaret Olihan reported yesterday, the president reportedly made the decision to remove Attorney General Bondi because he was frustrated with what he saw as the lack of criminal prosecutions of Democrats who committed lawfare against him.
Now, we're also hearing some chatter that the removal could be an attempt by the president to distance himself from the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein scandal, which has drawn him scorn certainly from his critics on the left, but even from some critics on the right. Think about former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and others who expected more from Trump and Attorney General Bondi.
They wanted more files released, more prosecution. So that could certainly have something to do with this. But of course, you know, that's old news already. Pam Bondi is out. The big question now in Washington is who is going to replace her.
So the number one contender and sort of the contender being floated by the White House is EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, an attorney and former New York congressman, big ally of President Trump. We're keeping an eye on him.
A couple of other candidates that I would keep my eye on personally, Senator Josh Hawley from Missouri, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, two erstwhile Trump allies who the president might just want to bring up to the big leagues.
No doubt some big names in contention for that very coveted spot there. Jumping back a bit, what's the response been to Trump's Iran speech? We talked about that yesterday. What's the fallout been in D.C.?
The response in Washington has been a lot more extreme than what I would have guessed it would be, mostly among the media class who are furious with what the president had to say, I think in a large part because a lot of them got the story wrong. People were expecting the president to say this war was going to go on in definitely, or he was going to say that the war was ending right then.
They thought he said we were going to pull out of NATO, or he was going to give some other sort of extreme announcement. Of course, none of that actually happened. The president gave a pretty standard overview, said that we've been hitting our goals, we're continuing to hit our goals, gave us a timeline of about two to three weeks before the end of the war.
But I think ultimately, again, this has to do with the fact that a lot of the prognosticators and the reporters here in Washington got it wrong. Interestingly, the White House is hitting back at some of these people, notably Dasha Burns from Politico, who was one of the people who reported that the president was going to use this address to both declare victory in Iran and pull out of NATO.
