- Trump expressed frustration publicly over Bondi’s lack of action against his political foes, including James Comey, Letitia James, and Adam Schiff, which contributed to her dismissal.
- Bondi faced criticism for mishandling the Jeffrey Epstein files, including falsely claiming she had Epstein’s client list and would release it soon, leading to her being sidelined from media appearances.
