Trump nominates Pam Bondi as attorney general amid scrutiny over past donation

Donald Trump has nominated Pam Bondi as his new attorney general. Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, has a history of high-profile prosecutions but has faced ethical scrutiny, including a $25,000 donation from Trump during her office's investigation of Trump University. Bondi has been a long-time ally of Trump, supporting him during his presidency and various legal challenges. She has previously worked on significant cases, including opioid litigation and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill settlement. If confirmed, Bondi would oversee major Justice Department cases, including the January 6 investigation and civil rights issues. She would be the first female attorney general under a Republican administration.
