“Attorney General Pam Bondi is a wonderful person and she is doing a good job,” President Trump remarked.

Although an official announcement is pending, speculation has been circulating for months that Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lee Zeldin might be a contender for Bondi’s successor.

A rep for the former congressman from New York did not comment on whether Trump had spoken to Zeldin on a possible new job.

Semafor on Thursday first reported that Bondi had been told her time was running out as Trump’s top prosecutor.
