Following the firing of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, a photo obtained by MS Now and circulating online appears to show her portrait, apparently taken down from a Department of Justice wall, unceremoniously dumped in a trash bin.

According to both former and current DOJ officials, this is no surprise, given how deeply unpopular the former attorney general was, with many resigning under her administration and others fired. A simmering resentment lingers among many of these officials over the demotion of a respected career veteran, Devin DeBacker, who had been the acting chief of the national security division. When Bondi discovered that photos of previous administration members, including Kamala Harris, were still hanging on the wall of a sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF) at the DOJ, she personally took them down and demoted DeBacker over the incident.

“I went up on the seventh floor, which is the national security division,” Bondi told Fox News at the time. “The entire floor is a SCIF, so no one can get in there,. So I was able to get the code, open the door — and I look on the wall and see President Biden, Kamala Harris, and Merrick Garland’s paintings still hanging.”

“I personally took all three photos down,” she said. “I put them in front of someone who said to me, ‘Oh well, maintenance is really slow here.’ I said, ‘Well, it took me about 30 seconds to get them off the wall.’”

Upon hearing of her termination, a former national security division official told MS Now that “they better take her picture down.”
