Trump Administration Live Updates: Bondi Ousted as Attorney General

April 2, 2026

Bondi’s firing ends a turbulent 14-month term atop the Justice Department.

President Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday, removing the nation’s top law enforcement officer as his frustration with her job performance deepened.

Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, will be the acting attorney general, the president said on Thursday.

Ms. Bondi becomes the second cabinet member in recent weeks to lose her job, after Mr. Trump ousted Kristi Noem, the secretary of homeland security, last month. She was replaced by Markwayne Mullin.

The dismissal of Ms. Bondi, 60, ends a turbulent 14-month tenure as attorney general in which she tried desperately to appease a boss who demanded unimpeded control of the Justice Department to pursue politically motivated investigations against targets of his choosing, even when prosecutors warned that there was no evidence to do so.

In the process, Ms. Bondi surrendered much of the department’s historic independence and oversaw the exodus of experienced career officials, leaving the department’s public corruption and national security units, along with many local U.S. attorneys’ offices, weakened and demoralized.

Yet Mr. Trump remained annoyed by Ms. Bondi’s inability to secure indictments of people he referred to as “scum” during a speech in the department’s Great Hall about a year ago.

The president’s support for Ms. Bondi has steadily eroded since last summer, when her early stumbles in managing the release of the Epstein files created a political liability for Mr. Trump among a segment of his supporters. He has also complained about her shortcomings as a communicator and TV surrogate — a role he thought would suit her talents.

Ms. Bondi spent much of the last day making her case to stay in the cabinet, according to two people familiar with the situation. But her team could sense those chances slipping away when Mr. Trump issued only a lukewarm statement when The New York Times requested comment on rumors she was about to be removed.

“Attorney General Pam Bondi is a wonderful person and she is doing a good job,” he said.

In recent weeks, Mr. Trump sent mixed signals, privately praising her loyalty in public, and he has spoken with her several times a week, sometimes to seek advice or test ideas, a person close to Ms. Bondi said.

On Wednesday, even as Mr. Trump was discussing with aides whether to fire Ms. Bondi, the president traveled with her to the Supreme Court to watch arguments in the case challenging his executive order limiting birthright citizenship. Ms. Bondi was also at the White House on Wednesday evening for Mr. Trump’s address to the nation on the war in Iran.

But he has also expressed continuing dissatisfaction with her performance, and increasingly engaged with her critics inside his circle of advisers.

Sentiment had also been turning against Ms. Bondi among congressional Republicans.

In mid-March, five Republicans on the House Oversight Committee blindsided their own leadership — and Ms. Bondi — by joining Democrats to vote to subpoena her to testify under oath behind closed doors about the Epstein case.

The committee’s Republican chairman, Representative James R. Comer of Kentucky, scheduled a deposition for April 14. Ms. Bondi has said she would comply with the law, but she and Mr. Comer have been quietly working together to avoid the deposition, even though it is unclear if it is legally possible to withdraw a subpoena, according to people with knowledge of the discussions.

Representative Nancy Mace, the South Carolina Republican who pushed for the Oversight Committee to subpoena Pam Bondi and had been one of her more outspoken G.O.P. critics, said in a statement that she looked forward to Bondi’s replacement.

“Bondi handled the Epstein Files in a terrible manner and made this situation far worse than it had to be for President Trump,” Mace said.

The House Oversight Committee was scheduled to depose Pam Bondi on April 14 over the Justice Department’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and its handling of investigative material in the case. But Bondi had not yet committed to appearing, according to people familiar with the discussions between her and the committee.

Representative Robert Garcia of California, the top Democrat on the panel, said in a statement that Bondi was still “legally obligated to appear before our committee under oath.” A representative for the committee’s Republican chairman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

President Trump formally announced on Truth Social that he was firing Attorney General Pam Bondi and replacing her on an interim basis with Todd Blanche, her deputy.

“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,” he wrote on social media.

April 2 is International Fact-Checking Day. Here’s what it means in 2026.

Greetings from Storrs, Connecticut, home to thousands of excited UConn students waiting to see how their men’s and women’s teams fare in the Final Four basketball tournaments this weekend. I came here Wednesday, on April Fools’ Day, not to talk basketball but to chat with student Huskies and members of the public about how to do their own fact-checking and not be fooled online. 

My slideshow traced the steps our reporters took to prove a viral screenshot of President Donald Trump appealing to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to pardon Tiger Woods wasn’t real. I explained how relying on visual cues alone wasn’t enough to know a hyper-realistic video of a child crying over a service member’s coffin wasn’t authentic, and the motivations people may have in producing that sort of content for clicks. 

When every day on social media feels like April Fools’, we need robust teams of journalists who call out attempts to misinform and also help people safely and smartly navigate their own networks. It’s an honor to work with journalists who care deeply about both fronts, and it’s inspiring to meet student journalists (and aspiring influencers) who want to share verified knowledge and practice sound reporting.

Today is April 2, International Fact-Checking Day. It’s a day to recognize organizations all around the world that are dedicated to truth and facts, sometimes under immense pressure and with dwindling financial support. 

We can’t take fact-checking for granted, which is why Poynter’s International Fact-Checking Network started the holiday to follow the annual day of foolery. The IFCN, led by former PolitiFact Editor-in-Chief Angie Drobnic Holan, credentials more than 180 fact-checking organizations around the world who uphold the highest journalistic standards of transparency, fairness and independence. PolitiFact is a proud IFCN Code of Principles signatory.

Poynter and the IFCN are publishing essays from prominent voices in fact-checking today, including PolitiFact Chief Correspondent Louis Jacobson. In his column, Jacobson describes the urgency and unique challenges of reporting on war and other issues of democratic import:

Determining the truth of something happening under classified conditions on the other side of the world is not easy, and fact-checkers’ assessments inevitably require caveats about what we don’t know. But PolitiFact and other fact-checking outlets know how to use the resources that do exist, including data and the assessments of experts we’ve found to be trustworthy. We value transparency — not anonymous sources, who may have an agenda — and we value fairness, including reaching out to whoever is making the claim, including the Trump White House.

Fact-checking Trump

  • Regime change? Trump and other administration officials have declared that Iran has undergone regime change following the killing of many top officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Removing top officials is a necessary step in regime change, but not sufficient, military and foreign policy experts said. After Khamenei’s death, Iranian government officials said his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, took power. Iran’s current government structure appears intact, bolstered by the same ideology and using the same levers of power. Because killing top Iranian leaders is a step toward regime change but insufficient to achieve it, we rate the statement Mostly False.

  • Raw numbers. Trump often celebrates how many people are working. “More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country,” Trump said at a Saudi investment conference in Florida on March 27. This is Half True. In January, U.S. employment hit an all time high. But raw employment numbers are driven by overall population growth, so any president can claim an all-time high during their tenure. A more telling statistic about employment trends during Trump’s second term is that the past year-plus has seen the weakest job creation record in 16 years.

Birthright citizenship (and Trump) at the Supreme Court: What to know

Trump sat in the courtroom while the Supreme Court heard arguments over his executive order limiting birthright citizenship for the children of immigrants. Trump became the first sitting president in U.S. history to attend oral arguments.

Lower courts have ruled that his 2025 order seeking to end birthright citizenship was unconstitutional.

The justices asked questions of Solicitor General D. John Sauer, representing the government, and Cecillia Wang, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union who argued against the order. 

Trump left the courtroom after Sauer finished his opening argument, and wasn’t present as the justices, including some of his nominees, posed skeptical questions of the administration’s position. The justices pressed Sauer and Wang on the specifics of the 14th Amendment and a previous Supreme Court case that ruled the children of immigrants born in the U.S. were entitled to birthright citizenship.

Justice Neil Gorsuch asked Sauer whether under his argument “Native Americans today are birthright citizens.”

“I think so,” Sauer said. “I have to think that through.”

Minutes after the oral arguments concluded, Trump took to Truth Social: “We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!” 

Trump has repeatedly made this false statement. Days before the oral arguments, Trump also said birthright citizenship was meant for the children of enslaved people and is abused by wealthy foreigners.

Trump’s shifting timeline for Iran war ending

Trump addressed the Iran war in a primetime address Wednesday night, saying the U.S. was on track to complete its military goals “shortly, very shortly,” without providing new specifics. 

“We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks,” he said. 

Trump said other countries that are more dependent on oil and commerce passing through the Strait of Hormuz should take the lead on reopening it. He said discussions with Iran’s new leaders were ongoing but the U.S. would attack electric generating plants “very hard and probably simultaneously” without a deal.

With the war in its fifth week, PolitiFact compiled a timeline of Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s shifting expectations for how long the war would last.

How to ‘detox’ your body for free (Hint: It doesn’t require juice, teas or flushes)

The idea of starting fresh and clearing toxins and gunk from our bodies sounds good. And if you’re in the mood for a change, a profitable marketplace welcomes you.

Detox teas. Detox foot pads. Detox diets. Juice cleanses. Colon flushes. Supplements to remove toxins from the body, reset gut health, or "flush" out certain organs like the colon, liver, or kidneys. A multitude of products offer to get your insides squeaky clean.

But here’s the thing: Most people don’t need outside products to "detoxify" their bodies. The human body already has a robust natural system for clearing unwanted chemicals out of the body, and there are ways to support and facilitate those existing processes. 

The best part? It’s free.

Here’s what experts say about why you should forgo those appealing-sounding "detoxes" and "cleanses" and embrace your body’s existing superpowers.
