Trump nominates Pam Bondi for attorney general after Gaetz withdraws from consideration

Donald Trump has nominated Pam Bondi as the new U.S. attorney general after Matt Gaetz withdrew his name from consideration. Gaetz stepped down due to an ongoing federal investigation into allegations of sex trafficking. Pam Bondi, a former Florida attorney general and Trump ally, has experience as a prosecutor and served as one of Trump's lawyers during his first impeachment trial. She is now set to take over the attorney general position. Gaetz's withdrawal follows serious allegations against him, including claims of paying for sex and involvement with a minor. He has denied any wrongdoing, and a previous investigation by the Justice Department did not result in charges.
