Trump nominates Pam Bondi as attorney general to reshape Justice Department

Donald Trump has nominated Pam Bondi as his new attorney general after Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration. Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, has a history of supporting Trump and his claims about political rivals. Trump stated that Bondi will refocus the Department of Justice to combat crime and end what he calls its partisan weaponization. Bondi has previously called for investigations into Trump's political opponents and supported his claims about the 2020 election. Bondi's nomination follows her long-standing relationship with Trump, including her role in his defense during his first impeachment trial. She has faced scrutiny for accepting donations from Trump while her office considered fraud complaints against his business.
