wcpo.com —
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Pam Bondi, former Florida Attorney General, to be U.S. Attorney General. This follows the withdrawal of Matt Gaetz from consideration for the position, which Trump announced last week. Bondi served as Florida's attorney general from 2011 to 2019 and was involved in lawsuits against the Affordable Care Act. She also defended Trump during his first impeachment trial. Trump stated that Bondi will refocus the Department of Justice on fighting crime. Her nomination requires Senate confirmation.
