President-elect Donald Trump picks Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi for US Attorney General nominee

President-elect Donald Trump has selected Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as his nominee for Attorney General. The move came hours after Former Congressman Matt Gaetz withdrew his name amid controversy over alleged sexual misconduct. 

In a social media post, Trump said he is proud to announce former Attorney General of Florida, Pam



Bondi as his next Attorney General of the US. Bondi has been an outspoken defender of Trump. She was one of his lawyers during his first impeachment trial, when he was accused of abusing his power.
