Bondi was at the White House to attend Trump’s address to the nation on the Iran war, and earlier had accompanied the president to the Supreme Court to watch oral arguments in a major birthright citizenship case.

The White House did not directly address the report, but pointed The Post to a quote from the president praising Bondi.

“Attorney General Pam Bondi is a wonderful person and she is doing a good job,” Trump said.

A formal announcement has yet to be made, but Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lee Zeldin has been rumored for months to be considered a potential replacement.

A rep for the former congressman from New York did not comment on whether Trump had spoken to Zeldin on a possible new job.

Semafor on Thursday first reported that Bondi had been told her time was running out as Trump’s top prosecutor.
