ABC News Investigative Reporter Peter Charalambous talks about how President Trump announced Thursday that Pam Bondi was being ousted as his attorney general in a post on his social media platform, saying she'll move to a role working in the private sector. Trump's deputy attorney general and former personal attorney Todd Blanche will serve as acting attorney General, the president said. Trump had raised potentially removing Bondi as attorney general in recent discussions with senior administration officials, sources told ABC News this week, amid months of mounting frustration that the Justice Department isn't doing enough to target his political opponents for prosecution. The shakeup comes as Democrats and voting rights groups have expressed alarm that the White House may seek to use the DOJ and FBI to intervene in the midterm elections in November.
