Trump appoints Pam Bondi as new attorney general following Gaetz withdrawal

Donald Trump has selected Pam Bondi as his new attorney general, replacing Matt Gaetz, who withdrew amid scrutiny over allegations of sexual misconduct. Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, has a history of lobbying for private prisons and Amazon. Bondi's lobbying work includes clients like the GEO Group, a private prison company that has seen its stock rise significantly since Trump's election. She also lobbied for Amazon, which is currently facing antitrust challenges from the federal government. Her nomination may raise concerns due to her connections with corporate clients and the potential implications for immigration and antitrust policies. Bondi previously served on Trump's transition team and has been involved in lobbying efforts related to immigration enforcement.
