Still think he had good intentions and some skeletons came out and he was put in a position for himself.

How would that be related to a leak? anything that comes from Trump can't be considered a leak. That is the source.

Wait until after the Florida Gubernatorial election. DeSantis would fit the AG role nicely.

Sounds like a solid resume to be Attorney General


Anyone with the usual resume for US attorney general is likely compromised.

"A person close to the White House."

That could literally be the homeless bum sleeping on the sidewalk outside the fence.

Here's a detailed breakdown of what CNN and Politico (along with related reporting) have said about Pam Bondi potentially being ousted as Attorney General.

These stories broke on April 1–2, 2026, and are based on anonymous sources. No official firing has been announced as of April 2, 2026.CNN's ReportingCNN published the story on April 1, 2026, titled "Trump has discussed ousting Attorney General Pam Bondi, sources say." Key points include:

cnn.com

President Trump has privately mused about firing Bondi and replacing her with Lee Zeldin, the current EPA administrator.


Trump's frustration stems primarily from backlash over the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, which has angered parts of his base.

Additional complaints: Bondi hasn't been aggressive enough in investigating Trump's political opponents, and she faces a upcoming congressional deposition later in April related to the Epstein investigation.


The idea of replacing her with Zeldin first surfaced in January 2026 but quieted down; it resurfaced in the West Wing around early April.
Zeldin is the name mentioned most often, but he is not seen as a locked-in or final choice—Trump has floated other candidates internally.


Trump publicly told CNN: “Attorney General Pam Bondi is a wonderful person and she is doing a good job.” A source described recent Trump-Bondi conversations as “business as usual.”
CNN emphasized that it's unclear if Trump has made a final decision.

The story was widely amplified across CNN's platforms, including videos and segments discussing the potential Cabinet shakeup.

Politico's ReportingPolitico's Playbook newsletter on April 2, 2026, titled "Bondi on the brink?" built directly on the CNN and New York Times scoops. Key details:

politico.com

Politico's Dasha Burns reported that sources confirm Bondi "will be out imminently" as AG.


A person close to the White House told Politico that during a Tuesday meeting with Lee Zeldin (about California wildfires), Trump also discussed tapping Zeldin for the AG role.

Another source familiar with the situation reinforced that Bondi’s departure is expected soon.


Politico noted the rumors aren't entirely new, but the mood in the White House has shifted against her in recent days, tied heavily to the Epstein files controversy.


It described the CNN/NYT reports as "buzzy" scoops and highlighted a "non-denial denial" from Trump (his positive statement about Bondi without directly addressing the firing talk).

Politico framed this as part of broader Cabinet turbulence, referencing Trump's earlier ouster of another official (Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem).Context and Caveats

No confirmation of action: All reporting stresses these are private discussions and musing—not a finalized decision or formal announcement. Bondi was seen with Trump as recently as April 1 (riding in his motorcade for Supreme Court arguments).

Broader backdrop: Bondi's tenure has included controversies like lawsuits over DOJ/FBI personnel changes, mixed court rulings on U.S. attorney appointments, and criticism from both sides over the Epstein files rollout (e.g., her earlier Fox News comment about a "client list" that the DOJ later said didn't exist in that form).

Other outlets (NYT, ABC, etc.) reported similarly, naming Zeldin as the leading contender while noting Deputy AG Todd Blanche as another possible name in some accounts.

On social media and betting markets, speculation has heated up quickly, but these remain unconfirmed rumors driven by anonymous insiders.

The situation is fluid—political reporting like this can accelerate quickly or stall. Trump has a history of floating changes publicly or privately before acting (or not). For real-time updates, check the original CNN article or Politico Playbook directly, as developments could emerge in the coming days.
