Outgoing Attorney General Pam Bondi took to X Thursday afternoon to offer her first comments since the news of her ouster was made public earlier in the day, saying she'll be "working tirelessly" over the next month to "transition the office of Attorney General to the amazing Todd Blanche."
As RedState's Susie Moore previously reported, President Trump announced Bondi's departure as the federal government's chief law enforcement officer in a Truth Social post earlier Thursday. He wrote that "Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year," adding, "We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future."

In her own social media post, Bondi revealed she'd be "moving to an important private sector role I am thrilled about, and where I will continue fighting for President Trump and this Administration." Details have yet to emerge what that private sector job might entail.

Over the next month I will be working tirelessly to transition the office of Attorney General to the amazing Todd Blanche before moving to an important private sector role I am thrilled about, and where I will continue fighting for President Trump and this Administration.
Leading President Trump’s historic and highly successful efforts to make America safer and more secure has been the honor of a lifetime, and easily the most consequential first year of the Department of Justice in American history.
Since February 2025, we have secured the lowest murder rate in 125 years, secured first-ever terrorism convictions against members of Antifa, shattered domestic and transnational gangs across the country, taken custody of more than 90 key cartel figures, and won 24 favorable rulings at the Supreme Court.
I remain eternally grateful for the trust that President Trump placed in me to Make America Safe Again.
Bondi's top aide at the Department of Justice, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, will serve as acting AG upon her departure. There is no word yet on when Bondi's last day in office will be, but it looks like she'll still be expected to testify before Congress on her handling of the Epstein files.
Pam Bondi will soon leave her job as the Attorney General.

My subpoena still stands. When the Oversight Committee moved to subpoena Bondi, I did it by name, not by or not as the sitting Attorney General of the U.S.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
In the meantime, speculation is running rampant that Lee Zeldin, the former congressman from New York who is currently administrator of the EPA, is the favorite to permanently replace Bondi.
