WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump has reportedly dismissed two of his most prominent cabinet members within a month, according to Swedish media reports. Attorney General Pam Bondi was reportedly fired this week, following the earlier dismissal of Interior Secretary Kristi Noem in early March.

Sources close to the administration indicate Trump is considering additional changes to his cabinet. "The president is considering both changes and reorganizations," a source with insight into Trump's administration told NBC, according to Expressen.

The reported firings have reportedly created growing concern within the White House. "There could be more who have to go before the midterm elections," said U.S. expert Emma Ricknell in Svenska Dagbladet.

Trump's first year in office reportedly contained no changes among his ministers, but that period has now ended. According to sources, the administration initially wanted to avoid negative publicity around high-level personnel turnover, but that concern appears to have diminished.

Other cabinet members reportedly at risk include Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, and Homeland Security Secretary Tulsi Gabbard, according to the reports.
