Bondi's departure comes amid simmering frustration over her leadership and handling of the Epstein files. President Trump says Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will be acting attorney general.

In a Feb. 13 letter to President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi, the lawmakers want federal law enforcement authorities 鈥渢o review previously compiled evidence, take a fresh look at command responsibility at the highest levels of the Cuban regime, and use every available legal tool to hold accountable those responsible for the killing[s].鈥�

In an exclusive interview with SA国际传谋, Miami Herald investigative reporter Julie Brown said millions of newly released documents related to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking case is a litmus test of the American justice system鈥檚 ability to protect its most vulnerable citizens.

A Miami federal grand jury returned an indictment against South Florida Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick and several co-defendants, alleging that she and the others stole federal disaster funds, laundered the proceeds, and used the cash to support her 2021 congressional election campaign, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.

The U.S. Justice Department announced Thursday the indictment of 12 people charged for their alleged roles in an international conspiracy involving alien smuggling, asylum fraud, and money laundering.

Bondi traveled to Florida to tout the seizure of cocaine and marijuana by U.S. Coast Guard crews and put a spotlight a key Trump administration priority to go after drug traffickers helping to fuel America鈥檚 addiction crisis

Bondi was confirmed by a vote of 54-46, and will now take the reins at the Justice Department at a moment when it is facing questions about the risk of political influence at the department.

Pam Bondi鈥檚 hearing came on the second day of high-profile confirmation hearings for Trump鈥檚 second-term nominees. PolitiFact fact checked her statements.

The president-elect鈥檚 choice for attorney general is known for her charm and fealty to him.

The South Florida congresswoman told CNN that former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is 鈥渁 heck of a lot better than Matt Gaetz鈥� but she 鈥渋s clearly a Trump apologist, a Trump lackey.鈥�

President-elect Trump announced his new choice hours after Matt Gaetz backed out. Ms. Bondi served on Mr. Trump鈥檚 legal team during his first impeachment.

The former Florida attorney general is a longtime Trump ally and was one of his lawyers during his first impeachment trial when he was accused 鈥� but not convicted 鈥� of abusing his power as he tried to condition U.S. military assistance to Ukraine on that country investigating then-former Vice President Joe Biden.
