Trump names Pam Bondi as new attorney general pick after Gaetz withdrawal

Donald Trump has selected Pam Bondi, former Florida Attorney General, as his new pick for attorney general. This follows Matt Gaetz's withdrawal from consideration due to concerns about his ability to secure Senate confirmation amid ongoing scandals. Bondi, who has a strong legal background, is expected to focus on reforming the Department of Justice. Trump emphasized her experience in combating crime and drug trafficking, contrasting her qualifications with Gaetz's troubled candidacy. Her confirmation process may face scrutiny over a past donation from Trump’s foundation, but she is seen as a more viable candidate due to her legal expertise.
