Following the firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi, reports have surfaced saying that President Donald Trump is angry and preparing to remove even more cabinet members.
Bondi was ousted on Thursday, April 2, reportedly due to Trump's frustration over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and perceived lack of aggression against his political opponents.
“He’s very angry, and he’s going to be moving people,” an anonymous Trump administration official told Politico.
Pam Bondi was fired on April 2.
Trump's former personal lawyer Todd Blanche, best known for moving Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell from a maximum-security prison to a cushy Club Fed, has been named as Bondi's interim replacement.
Bondi’s axing follows the removal of former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, marking the start of what some are calling a broader administration "purge.”
Reports allege that Bondi begged the president to let her keep her job until the summer. Still, he refused, and according to Politico, the president is on a warpath and is eyeing the ousting of, among others, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer.
Todd Blanche is replacing for Pam Bondi for the time being.
Lutnick was busted for lying about his relationship with Epstein, on whose private, notorious island he vacationed with his family and friends.
Chavez-DeRemer was accused of bringing her employees to a strip club and having alcohol on the job, while her husband, Shawn, was accused of sexual assault by her employees.
Other reports by The Atlantic say the 79-year-old POTUS, who is flailing in the polls, may remove embattled FBI Director Kash Patel, who has come under intense scrutiny for abusing his powers, partying on the job and using taxpayer-funded government planes to jet-set with his country-singer girlfriend.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is reportedly in danger of losing her job due to White House friction, allegations of leaking and management of sensitive intelligence.
Key issues include the unauthorized revocation of 37 security clearances and a whistleblower complaint about her handling of intelligence reports, which has created tension with the president.
Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll may also be on the chopping block.
Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll may also be on the chopping block in the wake of Donald’s exceedingly unpopular war in Iran. This follows a Pentagon purge on Thursday, April 2, in which Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth abruptly removed high-ranking Army leaders, including the service's top officer, in a move officials link to a dispute over military promotions or to their pushback against actions in Iran.
Pete forced out several top generals, including Army Chief of Staff General Randy George, who was asked to retire early. Other removed military leaders include Maj. Gen. William Green Jr. (Chief of Chaplains) and Gen. David Hodne.
