Trump Ousts Pam Bondi as AG, Todd Blanche Takes Over Amid Epstein Fallout

Summary

President Donald Trump removed Attorney General Pam Bondi, naming Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as acting AG. This change comes amidst criticism from gun rights advocates over the Justice Department's continued defense of federal gun control measures, including NFA regulations on suppressors and short-barreled firearms. Gun rights groups hope the new leadership will adopt a more aggressive stance against what they view as unconstitutional federal gun laws.
