Trump nominates Pam Bondi for attorney general after Gaetz withdraws
ft.com —
Donald Trump has nominated Pam Bondi for attorney-general after Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration. This change comes as Trump aims to quickly fill the key position in his administration. Bondi, a former Florida attorney-general, is viewed as a less controversial choice than Gaetz, who faced investigations for alleged misconduct. Bondi has been a long-time ally of Trump and was part of his legal team during his first impeachment. Trump and other supporters believe Bondi will face fewer challenges in the Senate confirmation process. She has a background in lobbying and has worked with various high-profile clients, including General Motors and Amazon.
