Washington, D.C., April 2, 2026 U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly weighing the dismissal of Justice Minister Pam Bondi amid criticism of her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case files. Sources indicate that Lee Zeldin, head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is under consideration as a potential replacement for Bondi. The move comes despite Trump's recent praise for Bondi, whom he described in a statement as "eine wunderbare Person und sie leistet gute Arbeit" ("a wonderful person and she does good work"). Trump has privately expressed dissatisfaction with Bondi’s management of the Epstein case documents, according to corroborated reports. The president’s criticism appears to contrast with his public remarks about her performance. No final decision has been announced regarding Bondi’s position. The White House has not commented further on the potential personnel change.
