Trump picks trusted Florida ally for top justice role after surprise withdrawal
Former Florida Attorney General gets nominated for US Attorney General position following Matt Gaetzʼs unexpected step-down. The nomination brings Trumpʼs long-time supporter back to potential federal service
In a quick turn-of-events Matt Gaetz stepped away from US Attorney General consideration and Donald Trump immediately picked Pam Bondi as his new choice (the announcement came on 11/21/24)
The ex-Florida Attorney General brings significant experience to the table — she led the states justice system for 8 yrs until 19ʼ and worked with Trumps anti-drug commission during his first White House term. Currently shes holding two important roles at the America First Policy Institute: leading its litigation center; co-managing the law & justice division
Pam was a prosecutor for nearly 20 years‚ where she was very tough on Violent Criminals‚ and made the streets safe for Florida Families
Pam will refocus the [Department of Justice] to its intended purpose of fighting Crime‚ and Making America Safe Again
The soon-to-be-nominated official has a long track-record in law enforcement — her work focused on stopping drug-trafficking and dealing with the fentanyl crisis that hit many US communities. As Floridas first-ever female Attorney General she made significant progress in public safety
Before taking office Bondi needs to get Senate approval‚ which will be the next big-step in this nomination process
