Trump prepares new staffing reshuffle in administration after firing attorney general - Politico
Following the dismissal of Attorney General Pam Bondi, U.S. President Donald Trump is considering further personnel changes within his administration.
According to Censor.NET, Politico reports this.
According to the publication, Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik and Labor Secretary Laurie Chavez-DeRemer.
What is known about the possible layoffs
According to one administration official, the president is "very angry" and may fire a number of officials.
However, no final decisions have yet been made regarding Lutnik and Chavez-DeRemer. Sources note that Trump had previously considered dismissing them but decided against it.
One of the interviewees described Lutnik's position as "on thin ice."
Reasons for possible changes
Another senior official noted that potential personnel changes could affect cabinet members who, in Trump’s view, have failed to meet expectations or attracted too much negative attention.
In addition, the White House is discussing the possibility of a more extensive "reshuffle" of the administration amid the complex political situation.
According to another source, Trump is also considering personnel changes due to concerns that it may become more difficult to confirm new appointments in the future, especially if Democrats strengthen their position following the midterm elections.
What led up to
It was previously reported that Trump had fired Attorney General Pam Bondi due to dissatisfaction with her performance, particularly in cases related to financier Jeffrey Epstein.
It was also reported that Bondi had been summoned to testify before the U.S. Congress as part of the relevant investigation.
