Trump nominates Pam Bondi as Attorney General to target Justice Department officials

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Pam Bondi, a former Florida Attorney General, to be the next Attorney General. Bondi has previously stated that if Trump returns to the White House, she would work to eliminate what she calls the "deep state" within the Justice Department. Bondi's nomination follows the withdrawal of Trump's first choice, Matt Gaetz, due to serious allegations against him. Bondi has been a strong supporter of Trump, defending him during his legal challenges and promoting claims of election fraud in 2020. She has expressed intentions to investigate Justice Department officials she views as politically motivated. Bondi's past actions include calling for investigations into Trump's political opponents and supporting controversial claims during Trump's presidency.
