Trump nominates Pam Bondi for attorney general following Gaetz withdrawal

President-elect Donald Trump has selected Pam Bondi as his new nominee for attorney general after his first choice, Matt Gaetz, withdrew due to sexual misconduct allegations. Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, is a loyal supporter of Trump. Bondi's nomination is expected to face less resistance in the Senate compared to Gaetz. She has a history of supporting Trump, including during his first presidential campaign and impeachment trial. During her time as Florida's attorney general, Bondi focused on issues like human trafficking and opioid litigation. She has also faced controversy, including a past connection to Trump University and lobbying work after her tenure.
