Trump chooses Pam Bondi for attorney general pick after Gaetz withdraws
WASHINGTON (AP) President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday named Pam Bondi, the former attorney general of Florida, to be U.S. attorney general just hours after his other choice, Matt Gaetz, withdrew his name from consideration.
Bondi is a longtime Trump ally and was one of his lawyers during his first impeachment trial, when he was accused but not convicted of abusing his power as he tried to condition U.S. military assistance to Ukraine on that country investigating then-former Vice President Joe Biden.
Bondi was among a group of Republicans who showed up to support Trump at his hush money criminal trial in New York that ended in May with a conviction on 34 felony counts. She's been a chair at the America First Policy Institute, a think tank set up by former Trump administration staffers.
For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans - Not anymore, Trump said in a social media post. Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again.
