tl;drSUMMARY ACROSS OUTLETS

Outlets agree that President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi. They also report claims that she alerted Rep. Eric Swalwell to FBI files concerning him.

Center outlets focus on competing accounts of the firing: claims of an FBI tip to Swalwell and Rep. Seth Moulton’s allegation that Trump wanted to prevent Bondi from testifying about Jeffrey Epstein. Right-leaning outlets emphasize the White House’s denial of a link to the Swalwell reports and an account that Trump was dissatisfied with Bondi’s performance.
