Trump Considers Extensive Cabinet Changes After Attorney General Dismissal
WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump is considering major changes to his cabinet to reorganize the White House and prepare for tough political challenges ahead, Reuters reported on Saturday, citing five people familiar with the matter.
The prospective reshuffle follows the recent dismissal of Attorney General Pam Bondi. Sources indicated that the moves aim to streamline operations amid anticipated political pressures.
Potential appointees mentioned include former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence and financier Howard Lutnick as secretary of commerce.
Trump's administration has faced scrutiny over its leadership structure since taking office, with Bondi's ouster marking a significant shift. The reported deliberations reflect ongoing efforts to align the cabinet with the president's priorities for his term.
No official announcements have been made, and the White House has not immediately commented on the reports. The considerations come as Trump navigates a complex domestic and international agenda.
