Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, was part of Trump's defense during his first impeachment trial.

Summary

Donald Trump has nominated Pam Bondi, Florida’s former attorney general (2011–2019) and longtime ally, as his pick for U.S. attorney general after Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration.

Bondi, known for her work combating drug trafficking and her role in Trump’s impeachment defense, will face Senate confirmation.

Her nomination has drawn praise from Republicans, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, and is seen as less controversial than Gaetz, who withdrew amid past allegations.

Bondi’s past ties to Trump, including a donation linked to Trump University investigations, have sparked scrutiny but have been denied as improper.

      She was the attorney general of Florida, was Trump’s personal attorney during one of his many trials, despite the obvious ethical violations in serving as the personal attorney for a defendant while acting as chief prosecutor in a state…

      …and probable Trump side-piece.

        She is anti same sex marriage along with all the other repugnant policies of the party.

        Phew, glad to see she’s also a piece of shit. Definitely more appropriate than Gaetz but come on.

        Bondi vociferously supports the death penalty and its timely application, but in the fall of 2013, she persuaded Gov. Scott to postpone the execution of murderer Marshall Lee Gore – because it was scheduled the same night as a fundraising party kicking off her reelection campaign.

        Yeah, she’s basically a perfect Trumpian appointee.
