Trump nominates Pam Bondi as attorney general after Gaetz withdrawal

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Pam Bondi as his new pick for attorney general after his first choice, Matt Gaetz, withdrew amid sexual misconduct allegations. Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, is known for her loyalty to Trump. Bondi previously endorsed Trump in 2016 and served on his transition team. She has faced controversy, including criticism for her handling of Trump University fraud allegations, but is expected to have a smoother confirmation process than Gaetz. During her tenure as Florida's attorney general from 2011 to 2019, Bondi focused on issues like human trafficking and opioid litigation. She has also worked as a lobbyist and made appearances on Fox News, supporting Trump's claims of election fraud.
