Trump Chooses Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi To Head The DOJ After Matt Gaetz Withdraws

President-elect Donald Trump has named former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as his new pick to run the Justice Department. Trump’s first choice, Matt Gaetz, withdrew from consideration as concerns grew he wouldn’t garner enough GOP support to be confirmed. Pam Bondi has a long track record in law enforcement and previously served as Florida’s attorney general. A long-time Trump ally, Bondi was part of his legal team during his first Senate impeachment trial and also publicly supported him by showing up at court during his hush money trial in New York.
