News A purge of senior officials suggests growing panic within the highest echelons of Donald Trump’s administration as the President’s approval ratings continue to sink. Trump sacked his attorney general, Pam Bondi, on Thursday after months of growing discontent with her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein issue that has been so damaging to his presidency. That came just weeks after he removed his unpopular Homeland Security secretary, Kristi Noem, from her post following widespread backlash over deployment of immigration agents to US cities and the killing of American citizens. Then overnight, Trump’s Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, asked the US army chief of staff General Randy George, a nominee of Joe Biden, to step down.
