Donald Trump has sacked US Attorney-General Pam Bondi – just weeks after he pushed out another senior woman in his cabinet.
The US president was reportedly angry at Ms Bondi’s handling of the Epstein files as well as a lack in progress at his demands that his political enemies be prosecuted.
Ms Bondi said it had been an “honour” to hold the role. But a leading Democrat said “good riddance” and accused her of using the US Justice Department a as a “tool of revenge” for Mr Trump.
