The President announced on Thursday that Pam Bondi is out as Attorney General, just weeks after he removed Kristi Noem from her position as Homeland Security Secretary.
But other Administration leaders have previously left their posts, including Department of Government Efficiency heads Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk, and Trump himself has pulled the nominations of multiple people he’d appointed to top positions and ousted several others who had already taken them on.
Here’s what you should know about the notable Trump-appointed officials the President has replaced in his second term.
In a Truth Social post announcing Bondi’s departure, Trump praised her for her role in overseeing his Administration’s crackdown on crime and called her “a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend.”

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem
The President ousted Noem as the leader of the Department of Homeland Security early last month after her appearance in a week of contentious congressional hearings brought his frustration with her to a head following months of growing controversy.
Trump said in a Truth Social post announcing Noem’s replacement that she “has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!)” Rather than removing her from the Administration entirely, he announced that she would shift into a newly created position: “Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas.”
Trump tapped Markwayne Mullin, a loyal Republican ally to the President who was then serving in his first term as a senator from Oklahoma, to succeed Noem as Homeland Security Secretary. Mullin was confirmed to the role last month.
Bovino was then on the ground overseeing federal immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis, after previously doing the same in cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte, and New Orleans that were similarly targeted in Trump’s crackdown.
Trump dispatched his border czar, Tom Homan, to oversee Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Minneapolis as he sought to quell the growing outcry. Bovino meanwhile departed the city along with a contingent of federal agents.
CDC Director Susan Monarez
The White House announced that it had fired Susan Monarez in late August, just weeks after she was confirmed as the new director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Attorneys for Monarez contended in a statement that she was “targeted” because she “refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directive and fire dedicated health experts.” She fiercely contested her removal, refusing at first to step down from her position.
But she was replaced first by Health and Human Services Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neill and then by National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya as acting heads of the CDC. Bhattacharya’s term expired late last month, and the position has since remained unfilled; Trump has not yet named a nominee to lead the department long-term.
Long was then abruptly ousted from his post last August and tapped by Trump to instead serve as the Ambassador to Iceland.
No reason was publicly given for Long’s departure at time, but The Washington Post and The New York Times reported that leaders at the Treasury Department had clashed with Long during his short time at the IRS.
The first, Douglas O’Donnell, an IRS veteran, announced his retirement late in February and was replaced by Melanie Krause, who in turn announced plans to resign in mid-April after the Trump Administration unveiled an agreement to provide taxpayer data to immigration authorities.
Bessent himself was tapped to head the IRS following Long’s ouster, and served in the role until his term expired last month. The position has since remained unfilled.
Acting FEMA Administrator Cameron Hamilton
Cameron Hamilton was removed as the acting head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency in May, just a few months after Trump tapped him for the role, after he broke with the Administration by testifying to members of Congress that he did not approve of dismantling the agency.
The following day, Hamilton was removed from his position and replaced by David Richardson, who was serving as the assistant secretary for the Department of Homeland Security’s countering weapons of mass destruction. Karen Evans, FEMA’s chief of staff, in turn replaced Richardson as the acting head of the agency in December.
National Security Adviser Mike Waltz
Waltz’s ouster came weeks after The Atlantic revealed in a bombshell report that he had organized a group chat on the encrypted messaging app Signal to coordinate a sensitive military operation against Houthi militants in Yemen.
Trump announced that Secretary of State Marco Rubio would replace Waltz as his interim national security adviser, and nominated Waltz to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. He was confirmed to the role in September.
