Trump nominates Pam Bondi for attorney general amid dog custody controversy

Donald Trump has nominated Pam Bondi as his pick for U.S. attorney general, following Matt Gaetz's withdrawal from the position. Gaetz stepped down amid scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over allegations related to his conduct. Bondi, who served as Florida's attorney general from 2011 to 2019, has faced her own controversies. Notably, she was involved in a legal dispute over a dog she adopted after Hurricane Katrina, accused of stealing the pet from its original owners. The custody battle lasted 16 months and ended with a settlement. Bondi returned the dog, but the original owners claimed she did not fulfill promises to support the dog's care afterward.
