Trump gave brutal four-word message to Pam Bondi the day before firing her as attorney general

President Donald Trump reportedly gave former attorney general, Pam Bondi, a four-word message prior to her leaving the role this week.

It was announced yesterday (April 2) that Bondi will no longer serve as attorney general and will now be focusing her attention on the 'private sector', according to Trump.

"Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year," said Trump.

"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 had been in the role for 14 months, with The Wall Street Journal reporting that Trump had informed Bondi that her time as attorney general was over on Wednesday (April 1).

He reportedly said: "I think it's time," during a car ride with Bondi, with the news later announced the following day.

The president also confirmed that Bondi is set to be replaced in the role by deputy attorney general Todd Blanche, writing: "Our Deputy Attorney General, and a very talented and respected Legal Mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General."

Bondi's departure from the position has allegedly come after cross-party criticism of her handling of the release of documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein, which has reportedly frustrated Trump.

Bondi has spoken out for herself after being let go and said she'll be working 'tirelessly' with Blanche over the next four weeks as he transitions into her role.

She added that she's 'thrilled' to be 'moving to an important private sector role'.

Bondi went on: "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."
