Pam Bondi named as Trump's pick for U.S. Attorney General

Pam Bondi has been selected by President-elect Donald Trump as his new pick for U.S. Attorney General, replacing Matt Gaetz. Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, is expected to face less opposition during the confirmation process. Bondi served on Trump's defense team during his first impeachment trial in 2020, arguing against allegations of corruption involving the Biden family. She has also worked with the America First Policy Institute, focusing on policies for a potential second Trump term. Her background includes significant experience in law enforcement and a history of tackling issues like violent crime and the opioid crisis. Unlike Gaetz, Bondi has fewer personal controversies, which may facilitate her confirmation.
