Pam Bondi Reportedly Begged Donald Trump Not to Fire Her From Attorney General Position

Pam Bondi reportedly begged President Donald Trump not to fire her when the two had a heated exchange shortly before he addressed the nation.

According to a report from the Daily Mail published on Thursday, April 2, Bondi, 60, asked for Trump, 79, to give her more time in her role as attorney general.

“She was unhappy and tried to change his mind,” a source told the publication.

However, Trump was unmoved by her pleas and went ahead with his decision, allegedly telling her an announcement would be made shortly.

The Daily Mail reported that Trump believes Bondi may have given a heads-up to Congressman Eric Swalwell about the FBI’s plans to release information about his relationship with alleged Chinese spy, Christine Fang.

“She’s intervening in those matters. The White House wasn’t pleased she was intervening due to her personal friendship with Swalwell,” the source told the outlet.

This is the second major firing of a member of Trump’s cabinet in less than a month.

On March 5, the former reality TV star announced that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was being replaced.

“I am pleased to announce that the Highly Respected United States Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), effective March 31, 2026,” he wrote in a message on Truth Social.

“The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. I thank Kristi for her service at ‘Homeland.’”
