President Donald Trump is reportedly looking to make further changes within his Cabinet after the recent dismissal of Attorney General Pam Bondi. Two officials, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, are now under consideration for potential removal.
Sources close to the White House have indicated that Trump is feeling frustrated and is contemplating whether to replace these top officials. This move follows the earlier ouster of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
One official noted, “He is very angry, and he’s going to be moving people.” The focus seems to be on those who have attracted too much negative attention.
Chavez-DeRemer has been involved in several controversies, including allegations of inappropriate conduct during work-related trips. There are also serious accusations against her husband that have led to his exclusion from Labor Department activities.
The situation surrounding Lutnick appears less clear. Some insiders believe he is on “thin ice,” while others defend his performance, claiming he has garnered overwhelming support.
Lutnick played a crucial role in the development of Trump’s tariff policies, which faced challenges in the courts.
Betting markets are reacting, with traders on Polymarket speculating about future firings. Both Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth are being considered as more likely candidates for removal than Chavez-DeRemer or Lutnick.
Despite the ongoing discussions, the White House is publicly supporting its Cabinet members. Spokesperson Taylor Rogers affirmed that both Chavez-DeRemer and Lutnick are performing well and have the President’s backing, while colleague Davis Ingle emphasized the exceptional quality of Trump’s Cabinet, touting the hard work and accomplishments of his team.
