Trump names Pam Bondi as attorney general after Gaetz withdraws from consideration

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Pam Bondi as his attorney general after Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration. Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, is a Trump loyalist and has previously worked as a legal adviser during Trump's impeachment trial. Bondi's selection marks a shift from Gaetz, who faced multiple investigations and skepticism from Senate Republicans. If confirmed, she will oversee the Justice Department, which has investigated Trump in the past. Bondi will be the first woman to serve as U.S. attorney general since Loretta Lynch. Trump plans to appoint several of his defense attorneys to key positions within the Justice Department.
