Trump: I Might Fire Up To Five Cabinet Members

The Hill reports:

President Trump said Sunday he’s considering making a change to as many as five Cabinet positions amid speculation that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Kirstjen Nielsen and White House chief of staff John Kelly could depart imminently. “I have three or four or five positions that I’m thinking about. Of that, maybe it’s going to end up being two. But I need flexibility,” Trump said of Nielsen in an interview on “Fox News Sunday.”

CNN reports:



President Donald Trump said Saturday that he would consider Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi for any position in his administration as he weighs making changes to his Cabinet. “I’d consider Pam Bondi for anything,” Trump told reporters at the White House as he departed for California. Bondi and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie are among those being considered to fill the role of US attorney general after Trump fired Jeff Sessions last week, sources familiar with the matter have told CNN.

Bondi could face significant hurdles to Senate confirmation over a controversy surrounding a $25,000 contribution her political action committee received from Trump’s foundation during her 2014 re-election bid. The donation came around the time Bondi’s office was reviewing complaints about Trump University, and Democrats leveled allegations of impropriety after her office declined to pursue an investigation into Trump University fraud allegations.
