President Trump is reportedly considering further changes to his Cabinet after firing Pam Bondi as Attorney General.
President Trump has fired two high-level officials over the last month.
Trump fired Bondi as US Attorney General on Thursday and fired Kristi Noem as DHS Secretary.
The President reportedly fired Bondi over her handling of the Epstein files and dissatisfaction with her leadership.
Kristi Noem was fired after she spent $200 million on an ad contract and lied to Congress and claimed it was with Trump’s approval.
According to Politico and the Washington Post, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer may be on the chopping block.
President Trump may make further changes to his Cabinet ahead of the midterms, just in case the Republicans lose the Senate.
Politico reported:
President Donald Trump has expressed frustration and disappointment with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer — and is pondering making additional changes to his Cabinet.
“He’s very angry and he’s going to be moving people,” an administration official familiar with the dynamics told POLITICO. That official and three other people with knowledge of Trump’s thinking around his Cabinet were granted anonymity to discuss the unresolved personnel issues.
The additional potential moves follow the ouster of Attorney General Pam Bondi Thursday and former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem last month.
No final decisions have been made on Chavez-DeRemer and Lutnick — and Trump has contemplated firing people and then backed off before.
The Washington Post also reported about the next Cabinet shakeup.
“After ousting two of his highest-profile Cabinet members from their posts, President Donald Trump is considering making more changes to his administration’s top leadership, according to advisers — a decision that would accelerate the once-slow pace of his second-term staff departures,” WaPo reported.
