Washington, D.C. — The removal of former Attorney General Pam Bondi’s official portrait has drawn attention following her departure from the Department of Justice.
Reports from entertainment outlet TMZ and other media indicate that Bondi’s portrait was seen placed upside down in a trash can shortly after her removal from office. The image had previously been displayed alongside portraits of President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance.
The development comes after Trump announced Bondi’s dismissal, stating she would transition to a role in the private sector. Todd Blanche has since been named interim attorney general.
The circumstances surrounding the handling of the portrait have not been officially addressed by the Department of Justice. It remains unclear whether the image was intentionally discarded or temporarily removed during routine office changes following leadership transitions.
The report has circulated as part of broader media coverage of personnel changes within the administration, including ongoing leadership shifts and a partial Department of Homeland Security shutdown affecting federal operations.
Bondi’s removal and replacement mark the latest in a series of changes within the administration’s legal leadership, as officials continue to navigate staffing transitions and policy priorities.
No official confirmation has been provided regarding the reported handling of the portrait.
