Trump nominates Pam Bondi as new U.S. Attorney General after Gaetz withdrawal

Donald Trump has nominated Pam Bondi as his new pick for U.S. Attorney General, following the withdrawal of Matt Gaetz from the role. Gaetz stepped down amid bipartisan backlash related to past allegations against him. Bondi, a former Florida Attorney General, has been a vocal supporter of Trump and his policies. She has criticized investigations into Trump and has previously worked on issues like drug trafficking and opioid abuse. Trump praised Bondi's experience and toughness, stating she will refocus the Department of Justice on crime and safety. Her nomination reflects Trump's ongoing efforts to reshape the DOJ in line with his administration's priorities.
