He wrote, “Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year. Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900.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.”
Bondi, too, shared a statement at the time of her firing. Talking about her next professional steps, Bondi said that she was "thrilled about moving to an important private sector role.”
