After Matt Gaetz’s nomination fell apart, President-elect Donald Trump tapped another Floridian with a controversial history to be his attorney general: Pam Bondi.
“I am proud to announce former Attorney General of the Great State of Florida, Pam Bondi, as our next Attorney General of the United States,” Trump announced Thursday night on Truth Social. “Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again.”
While Bondi will be less controversial than Gaetz, she comes with her own set of baggage.
