Pam Bondi, President Donald Trump's attorney general said Sunday the president would "probably" leave the White House after his second term is completed.
But she left the door slightly open toward him serving another four years, telling "Fox News Sunday," "I think he's going to be finished probably after this term," and saying it would be a "heavy lift" to change the Constitution to allow Trump to serve another four years.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Saturday that he was revoking all visas to South Sudanese passport holders "due to the failure of South Sudan's transitional government to accept the return of its repatriated citizens in a timely manner."

Trump pressures GOP senators to vote against Democrats' attempt to block Canada tariffs
Ahead of his major tariff announcement, Trump is urging Republican senators to oppose a Democratic resolution to block levies against Canada.
Trump went so far as to call out some members of his party by name in a new post on his social media platform on Wednesday morning.
"Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Rand Paul, also of Kentucky, will hopefully get on the Republican bandwagon, for a change," he wrote on his social media platform. He added the bill "is just a ploy of the Dems to show and expose the weakness of certain Republicans, namely these four, in that it is not going anywhere because the House will never approve it and I, as your President, will never sign it."
To the people of the Great States of Kentucky, Alaska, and Maine, please contact these Senators and get them to FINALLY adhere to Republican Values and Ideals. They have been extremely difficult to deal with and, unbelievably disloyal to hardworking Majority Leader John Thune, and the Republican Party itself. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" he continued.

Trump set to unveil sweeping 'reciprocal' tariffs on US trading partners
President Donald Trump on Wednesday will unveil what are expected to be broad-based "reciprocal tariffs" on imports as part of his "America First" agenda.
It's a moment months in the making for the president, who has repeatedly billed it as "Liberation Day" from dependence on foreign goods -- but is also a significant political gamble as economist fear moves could cause the economy to slide into a recession and markets seesawed ahead of Wednesday's announcement, slated for 4 p.m. ET, after the markets end trading.
Federal agencies roll out buyout offers, separate from 'Fork in the Road': Sources
Two months after the initial "Fork in the Road" emails were sent to federal employees across the government, numerous agencies have begun rolling out independent, agency-specific deferred resignation programs -- separate from the DOGE-led effort that sparked court challenges and outrage from critics, according to emails and sources with knowledge of the plans.

Last week, the Department of Defense announced its own DRP, offering civilian employees the opportunity to resign with full pay and benefits through Sept. 30.
Over the last few days, other agencies have begun offering similar programs, including the Department of Energy, the General Services Administration, the Small Business Administration, the Department of Transportation, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, according to internal emails reviewed by ABC News.
A letter to HUD employees this week announcing its program, calling it "DPR 2," acknowledged that employees were skeptical of the "validity" of the initial rollout of the deferred resignation program given it was during Congress' budget negotiations, which prevented some from participating.
Agencies are setting different deadlines to accept the offers -- the Department of Transportation set a deadline of just before midnight on April 7, HUD is giving employees until April 11 and GSA is giving employees until April 18.
