A day after US President Donald Trump<\/a> removed Attorney General Pam Bondi from office, a photograph showing her official portrait lying in a dustbin inside the Department of Justice (DOJ) has gone viral.The image was first reported by MS NOW and shows Bondi\u2019s framed portrait placed upside down in an empty trash can. The portrait had previously been displayed on a wall alongside images of Trump and US vice president JD Vance.The development came hours after Trump announced Bondi\u2019s removal in a social media post, naming Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as her replacement. Bondi is a longtime ally of Trump and has been serving as the country\u2019s top law enforcement official since early 2025. In his statement, Trump praised Bondi and said she would be \u201ctransitioning\u201d to a role in the private sector. He added that her new position would be announced later. Blanche also defended her record, saying: \u201cAs President Trump said today, the attorney general made our country safe again, and she is a friend and did a great job in the first year of this administration.\u201dBondi said she would be \u201cworking tirelessly\u201d to transfer her responsibilities and described her tenure as \u201cthe honour\u201d of a lifetime. She added that she would \u201ccontinue fighting for President Trump and this administration\u201d in her next role.Despite public praise, the Guardian reported that Trump was frustrated with Bondi\u2019s handling of issues linked to the case of convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Bondi had earlier promised transparency of the infamous documents and said an alleged client list linked to Epstein would be released. The DOJ later stated that no such list existed.Millions of documents related to Epstein were eventually made public following pressure from lawmakers and Trump supporters, and after Congress passed legislation requiring the release of unclassified records. However, a lot of the content was redacted. Bondi faced criticism from both Democrats and Republicans. Bondi also faced scrutiny over her leadership during a tense congressional hearing, where exchanges with lawmakers turned heated. At one point, she called a Democrat a \u201cwashed-up loser\u201d.Her departure follows the recent removal of Kristi Noem from the position of Homeland Security Secretary and adds to a series of high-profile exits from Trump\u2019s administration.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
