White House Denies Pam Bondi Fired over Eric Swalwell Rumors

The move follows disputed claims that she alerted Eric Swalwell to FBI plans to release sensitive files, an allegation both sides deny.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi shortly before delivering his prime-time address on the Iran war, marking his second cabinet shake-up in less than a month.
  • Reports allege Trump dismissed Bondi for tipping off Representative Eric Swalwell about FBI efforts to release investigative files concerning his past relationship with suspected Chinese operative Christine Fang.
  • Swalwell denied the leak allegations, stating FBI agents—not Bondi—tipped off The Washington Post, and earlier this week sent a cease-and-desist letter to FBI Director Kash Patel.
  • Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will serve as Acting Attorney General, while senior officials stated the dismissal was performance-related, emphasizing the president had been weighing the decision long-term.
  • Speculation also links the dismissal to prior dissatisfaction; Chief of Staff Susie Wiles acknowledged in December that Bondi had 'whiffed' on the Epstein files release.
