President Donald Trump released a statement Thursday lauding former Attorney General Pam Bondi as a “Great American Patriot” and a “loyal friend” who “faithfully served” during the past year. In the statement, Trump credited Bondi with overseeing a major crackdown on crime across the nation, noting that murders have plummeted to their lowest level since 1900. He announced that Bondi will transition to an important new role in the private sector—details of which he stated will be “announced at a date in the near future”—and named Todd Blanche, his Deputy Attorney General and “a very talented and respected Legal Mind,” as Acting Attorney General. The President thanked Bondi for her service.
