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.

    Nah Gaetz still would have been worse lol.

    Pam might be a piece of shit who enforced laws that never should have been enforced but Gaetz gave hardcore drugs to child prostitutes, there is a pretty clear distinction here.

        That’s what I said. All adult to child sexual context is rape.

          It’s calling them prostitutes that is incorrect. The kids are not sex workers.

            I’m sorry, are you upset that I’m using a negative connotation to describe children being raped?

      Gaetz is probably a worse person, but I’m unsure if he’d be a worse AG. I think the less competent and the more dirt on them that is public the better, as far as Trump picks go.
