Rolling coverage.. Imhotep knows why.

Pam Bondi is out of her job as US attorney general in the Trump administration, reports the BBC's US news partner CBS.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will work as acting attorney general, and Bondi will be offered another post in the administration, CBS says.

Does this make any practical difference to the Government? How long will (apparently Lee Zeldin) take to get up to Bondi's level of high performance?

By sacking Bondi, Trump has probably bought himself a bit of time. Wasn't she due to face a congressional committee very soon as a result of the dreadful performance she put in the last time she faced the committee. Any new appointment will probably be given a couple of months to get up to speed on the Epstein stuff.

All the failings can be attributed to Bondi and it could a good 6 months before the new attorney general is in a position where they finally have handed over any incriminating stuff on Trump.
