Trump names Pam Bondi as his pick for attorney general after Gaetz withdraws from consideration
President-elect Donald Trump has named former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as his pick to serve as the next US attorney general after Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration earlier in the day.
“For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans – Not anymore,” Trump said in a Thursday post announcing the pick on his Truth Social platform. “Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again. I have known Pam for many years — She is smart and tough, and is an AMERICA FIRST Fighter, who will do a terrific job as Attorney General!”
