Who will Trump fire next? Cabinet shakeup could expand, source tells Fox News

President Donald Trump says Pam Bondi is out as Attorney General. 
The president also named Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as the acting attorney general, though three people familiar with the matter have said he has privately discussed Lee Zeldin, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, as a permanent pick.
