Donald Trump has grown increasingly dissatisfied with the performance of Attorney General Pam Bondi which is putting her future in the administration in doubt, according to a Wall Street Journal report published Monday.
The president believes Bondi is not moving quickly enough to prosecute his perceived adversaries and has failed to mitigate the Jeffrey Epstein cloud surrounding the White House. Bondi has become aware of Trump's frustration, with her spokesman stating she remains focused on executing Trump's directive to enhance public safety.
Bondi's reduced visibility around the White House reflects her diminishing status with the president.
According to the report, “Bondi has been less visible around the White House in recent months, White House officials said. She didn’t appear with Trump to announce the extraordinary capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, even though her agency was the one whose prosecution underpinned the arrest."
Behind the scenes, Trump has been collecting criticism of Bondi from his MAGA base and conservative influencers.
According to the Journal, the president, “has also heard from conservative activists and influencers criticizing Bondi, and collected similar social-media posts that he has asked other aides about, the officials said.”
