President Donald Trump announced today that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi would leave the administration and move to “a much needed and important job in the private sector.” Trump called Bondi “a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend” and applauded her work driving down crime. Bondi’s deputy, Todd Blanche, was named acting attorney general. Blanche is a former New York prosecutor and white-collar defense attorney who was a partner at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft before joining the president’s legal team. He defended Trump against criminal charges related to payments to an adult film star and against the now-defunct election subversion and classified documents prosecutions brought by a former Justice Department special counsel.
