Bondi used her statement to highlight specific milestones her department achieved since she took the position in early 2025.

“Since February 2025, we have secured the lowest murder rate in 125 years, secured first-ever terrorism convictions against members of Antifa, shattered domestic and transnational gangs across the country, taken custody of more than 90 key cartel figures, and won 24 favorable rulings at the Supreme Court,” she added.

As Bondi prepares to hand over the Department of Justice to interim leader Todd Blanche, she is already focusing on her next move.

It may be noted that her tenure was recently complicated by controversy over claims regarding a Jeffrey Epstein “client list,” which reportedly caused friction within White House leadership.

Nevertheless, she expressed excitement about her future outside of government.

Bondi informed her followers, “I will be working tirelessly to transition the office of Attorney General to the amazing Todd Blanche before moving to an important private sector role I am thrilled about, and where I will continue fighting for President Trump and this Administration.”

Regarding the future of the agency, Trump stated that “our Deputy Attorney General, and a very talented and respected Legal Mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General.”

He also looked forward to Bondi's next chapter, writing, “We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future.”
