Trump Weighs Special Counsels as He Privately Rebukes Attorney General Bondi

The pressure follows court dismissals that stalled cases against his rivals.

Overview

The Wall Street Journal reports Trump has lately told aides he views Attorney General Pam Bondi as "weak" and "ineffective."
He has discussed naming special counsels to steer investigations outside her control because he is dissatisfied with the DOJ’s pace.
His grievances include stalled efforts against James Comey and Letitia James after a judge dismissed two cases in November over an improper appointment.
Despite the private complaints, Trump publicly told the Journal that "Pam is doing an excellent job."
Pressure on Bondi has intensified within the MAGA base, with Steve Bannon saying she is "bleeding support."
