Trump defends Bondi after pressuring her to prosecute opponents
After publicly putting pressure on Attorney General Pam Bondi to carry out prosecutions targeting his political opponents, Trump said she’s doing a “great job.”
Asked by ABC News if he would fire Bondi if New York Attorney General Letitia James is not indicted, Trump said, “No, she’s doing a great job – Pam Bondi is doing a great job. I think Pam Bondi is going to go down as one of the best attorney generals of the ages.”

This comes after Trump forced out the U.S. Attorney General for the Eastern District of Virginia after his office failed to find incriminating evidence against James.
Asked he had threatened to fire anyone in DOJ leadership if they don’t prosecute James or former FBI Director James Comey, Trump responded, “No, I don’t do that. I don’t do that. I mean, I look at the facts like everybody else. You read the facts, and to me, she looks terrible, she looks like she’s very guilty, but that’s going to be up to the DOJ.”
