Pam Bondi Nominated as U.S. Attorney General

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as his choice for U.S. Attorney General, following Matt Gaetz's withdrawal from consideration. Bondi, known for her loyalty to Trump and her role as one of his defense lawyers during his first impeachment trial, is expected to prioritize Trump's interests and protect him from investigations. Republicans, including former colleagues and lawmakers, have praised her selection, citing her experience and leadership qualities. Conservative pundits predict an easy confirmation process for Bondi due to her extensive vetting as a former state AG. Critics, however, express concerns about her past, suggesting she may be susceptible to political manipulation. Bondi's nomination represents a significant shift in the Department of Justice's priorities under Trump's administration.
