What led to Pam Bondi's sacking as US attorney general? | ABC NEWS

Donald Trump has sacked his attorney general, Pam Bondi.
The long-time Trump loyalist had faced criticism over her handling of the Epstein files.
In his announcement of her departure, Trump said Bondi would be "transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector".
It's the second cabinet member he's removed in 2026 after Kristi Noem, who was sacked from her position as homeland security secretary in March.
