Lara Trump made her debut on Fox News with My View with Lara Trump, a weekend primetime program featuring[1] key figures from President Donald Trump’s administration.
The show, which aired on Saturday night, included guests such as Attorney General Pam Bondi, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
Lara Trump, who previously served as co-chair of the Republican National Committee, had been rumored to be considering a Senate run or a role in Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.
However, on February 5, Fox News announced that she would instead host her own show, offering a platform for voices within Trump’s MAGA movement.
Attorney General Pam Bondi was among the first guests on My View with Lara Trump, where she discussed her early days in office and her approach to reshaping the Department of Justice.

She shared a lighthearted moment about her first visit to the DOJ’s national security division, where she removed portraits of former Attorney General Merrick Garland, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris.
“Somebody didn’t tell them there was a new president,” Lara joked in response.
Bondi explained that she took the portraits down after noticing they were still on display in the office.
When she asked a staff member why they had not been removed, she was told that “maintenance was really slow.” Bondi, however, decided to handle it herself.
“I took all three photos down,” she said, adding that it only took her 30 seconds.
Bondi, who previously served as Florida’s attorney general, was confirmed to the national role earlier this month with a 54-46 bipartisan vote in the Senate.
Senator John Fetterman was the only Democrat to vote in her favor.
She also addressed accusations that Trump is a misogynist, countering that he has consistently appointed women to key positions in his administration.
“The president believes in women,” she said, pointing to the number of female leaders he has brought into government.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the youngest person to ever hold the position, joined the show to discuss her experiences handling the press.
She criticized the mainstream media for what she described as an “anti-Trump bias” and said she welcomes the challenge.
“I look forward to facing them in the White House press pool every day,” Leavitt said.
She also defended Trump’s leadership, noting that he is a “great listener” and dispelling misconceptions about his decision-making process.

Gabbard reflected on her transition into the Trump administration, stating that it was not something she had originally envisioned but now considers it “such a blessing.”
Gabbard also discussed Elon Musk’s involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and efforts to cut government waste.
She revealed that her department has already eliminated $20 million in spending by rolling back Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies.
“The waste, fraud, the abuse from within the Justice Department doling out billions is going to stop,” Bondi added, reinforcing the administration’s stance on financial accountability.
