Pam Bondi nominated as US attorney general to replace Matt Gaetz

Pam Bondi has been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to replace Matt Gaetz as the U.S. attorney general. This change follows Gaetz's withdrawal amid allegations of misconduct and skepticism about his confirmation. Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, has a long career in law and politics. She is known for her loyalty to Trump and has previously defended him during impeachment trials. Her nomination is seen as a strategic move to gain Senate support. While Bondi brings significant legal experience, her past decisions and close ties to Trump may raise concerns during the confirmation process. Democrats are expected to scrutinize her record, particularly her involvement in Trump's legal matters.
