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."

"She came down here to upstage the news press availability, trying to give the impression that she's trying a different approach," Takano told ABC News after the event.

Trump considering final TikTok proposal Wednesday

According to a White House official, President Donald Trump is holding a meeting Wednesday with key administration officials who will present a deal for TikTok to the president.

This comes as the deadline looms for TikTok's Chinese parent company to sell the app or face a ban in the U.S. The bipartisan bill passed last year set Jan. 19 as a deadline for the sale, then Trump signed an executive order that gave ByteDance a 75-day extension. That extension is set to expire this Saturday on April 5.

Trump has said if an agreement isn't reached by the deadline, he'd just extend it.

Over the weekend, Trump said there are a lot of "potential buyers" who are interested in TikTok, adding that he'd like to see "TikTok remain alive."

TikTok did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

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.
