Donald Trump Nominates Pam Bondi for U.S. Attorney General Following Matt Gaetz Withdrawal
After Matt Gaetz withdrew his candidacy due to pressure, President-elect Donald Trump nominated former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi for the position of U.S. Attorney General. Bondi, a loyal supporter of Trump, previously assisted him during his first impeachment inquiry in 2019. The nomination comes amidst serious allegations against Gaetz, who faces accusations including sexual misconduct, which he denies. Trump’s administration will require Senate approval, where Republicans hold a slim majority.
