Trump nominates Pam Bondi as Attorney General after Gaetz withdrawal

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Pam Bondi as Attorney General, replacing Matt Gaetz, who withdrew amid controversy. Bondi, a former Florida Attorney General, has a strong legal background and previously served on Trump's Opioid and Drug Abuse Commission. Gaetz faced scrutiny from Senate Republicans and was under investigation for alleged misconduct, which he denies. Bondi's nomination is expected to encounter less opposition during the confirmation process. Trump praised Bondi's experience and commitment to law enforcement, stating she would address the perceived politicization of the Department of Justice.
