Just a day after her firing, the former attorney general’s pictures have been taken down — and discarded in a trash bin.

It did not take long for the pictures to come off the wall.
Within hours of the news that President Donald Trump had fired Pam Bondi as attorney general, images began circulating of her framed portrait, unceremoniously removed from its place of honor near the president and vice president on the walls of Justice Department offices.
One photo obtained by MS NOW showed Bondi’s portrait in a trash bin.
...What Bondi did not discuss publicly was the respected veteran she demoted over the incident: Devin DeBacker. He had been the acting chief of the national security division.
“They better take her picture down,” one former national security division official, who is among several still disturbed by Bondi’s removal of DeBacker, told MS NOW.
Nearly all of the senior career officials in the Biden DOJ served loyally and ably during Trump’s first term, without incident.
Now it’s Bondi who has been shown the door, and many DOJ veterans are quietly celebrating.
Bondi could not be reached for comment.
