In a swift and visual dismissal following her removal from office, former Attorney General Pam Bondi’s official portrait was discovered discarded upside down in a Department of Justice trash can just hours after President Trump announced her firing. The portrait, which previously hung alongside images of the President and Vice President J.D. Vance, was photographed in the “otherwise empty wired trash can” after Trump named Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as her successor. The high-profile ousting comes amid reports that Trump is considering a broader cabinet purge, with potential casualties including Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and FBI Director Kash Patel, leaving Bondi’s former colleagues to observe that “it looks pretty lonely in its new home.”
