Donald Trump has selected Pam Bondi as his nominee for U.S. attorney general. This decision follows Matt Gaetz's withdrawal from consideration earlier on Thursday. Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, has been a long-time ally of Trump and served as one of his lawyers during his first impeachment trial. Trump stated that Bondi will refocus the Department of Justice on crime and safety. She has extensive experience as a prosecutor and was Florida's first female attorney general.
