Kristi Noem's firing as Homeland Security Secretary could presage trouble for Attorney General Pam Bondi, whose future faces scrutiny following Trump's Cabinet purge after Republican concerns. Bondi has drawn fire for her handling of Epstein files and slow-walking their release. As many as 20 Republicans may support punitive action against the nation's top prosecutor, according to Politico. Five Republicans sided with Democrats to subpoena Bondi, who must testify before a House committee. Though Trump publicly praised Bondi during a Thursday Inter Miami event, stating she'll prove her toughness over the next three years, her political standing remains uncertain. The White House claims full confidence in her, but Rep. Tim Burchett noted she's "in the batter's box," suggesting her job security depends on performance. Democrats may now pivot focus to Bondi with Noem removed as the target.
