‘She’s Feeling That Now’: Donald Trump Keeps ‘Distance’ From Pam Bondi as Job Prospects Fade
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi is reportedly having trouble landing a new position after being fired from her position. Earlier this month, President Trump said Pam Bondi would step down as U.S. attorney general to take a private-sector role that has not been specified.
Taking to Truth Social, Trump 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."
He further commented on her new role in the private sector, 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, and our Deputy Attorney General, and a very talented and respected Legal Mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General."
Trump was unhappy with Bondi’s performance regarding his political priorities.
Per a report, Pam Bondi is struggling to secure a position in the private sector following her ouster by Trump. The report further stated that the White House has failed to provide any support or recommendation to help her find employment elsewhere.
Pam Bondi is facing difficulties after getting fired by Trump
British-American independent journalist Rob Shuter reported that Bondi hasn’t been able to secure any prominent private-sector positions following her firing by Donald Trump. Shuter’s source indicated that the ex-chief law enforcement officer is seeking employment, but “nothing major has come together.” They remarked, “The silence from the White House isn’t helping. A strong reference would open doors instantly. Right now, that’s just not happening.”
These details were disclosed by an unnamed source to the journalist. As there is no official confirmation to back the claims, this report remains unconfirmed. The Naughty But Nice podcaster stated that internal reviews are in progress at the DOJ after Bondi's exit. His source claimed that the department had “real concerns about her performance.”
The source noted that Bondi was aiming for a seamless shift into “something significant,” but has been unable to achieve it without support from the White House. "The path forward gets a lot harder. And she’s feeling that now,” the source added.

Why did Trump fire Pam Bondi as Attorney General?
Pam Bondi's exit comes after several months of severe criticism regarding her management of the release of the Justice Department's documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein s--- t-------- case, as per Today.
Todd Blanche, the Deputy Attorney General, has reportedly taken on the role of Acting Attorney General. President Trump’s public remarks regarding Bondi's removal came amid rumors that he was becoming increasingly frustrated with Bondi. Reports suggested that his irritation arose from her apparent slowness in prosecuting his critics and opponents.
Bondi's departure also came amid the controversial hearing in which Rep. Ted Lieu accused her of lying under oath during a conversation regarding the Justice Department's management of the Epstein documents.
Throughout the hearings, Bondi admitted that President Trump is mentioned multiple times in the records, yet she maintained that the documents lacked any information indicating wrongdoing by the president. She strongly asserted, “There is no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime. Everyone knows that. This has been the most transparent presidency.”
