Pam Bondi Fired as AG Despite Never Saying No to Trump: Law Prof. David Cole

President Trump has fired Attorney General Pam Bondi amid reports of his growing frustration with her failure to prosecute his political enemies and her handling of the Epstein files. Bondi, Florida’s former attorney general, was a Trump loyalist who openly heaped praise on the president and did away with the long-standing Department of Justice practice of maintaining political independence from the White House. “She came in and did the master’s bidding, and she did it poorly,” says David Cole, law professor at Georgetown University and former national legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union. Her firing comes just months after a heated congressional hearing in which she refused to apologize to Epstein survivors for the DOJ’s failure to fully redact their names in released documents. Bondi was subpoenaed to appear before the House Oversight Committee on April 14 to speak about her handling of the Epstein files. “The fact that she has now been run out of office does not mean that she is free of the obligation that every American citizen has to respond to a subpoena and answer questions under oath,” says Cole.

"The senators allege that Medicare Advantage is rife with waste, fraud and abuse, and CMS should focus on shoring up the program, rather than enrolling more individuals in it. They argue CMS should do so by adopting the congressional Medicare advisers’ recommendations to rein in the program."
