Meet Pam Bondi: Trump's Pick for Attorney General

USAWed Jan 15 2025
Pam Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, recently had her confirmation hearing for the role of attorney general under President-elect Donald Trump. She's promised to end any partisanship within the Department of Justice and ensure fair justice for all. Trump nominated Bondi after his initial pick, Matt Gaetz, stepped down due to personal issues. Some senators will likely grill her on whether she'll remain loyal to Trump or focus on the core mission of the Justice Department. Bondi has a lengthy career as a prosecutor and worked on Trump's legal team during his impeachment trial. She also denies any wrongdoing related to a donation linked to her decision not to investigate Trump University. After leaving her government role, she joined a prominent lobbying firm and worked with various clients, including the government of Qatar and Major League Baseball. Recently, she's been involved with a right-wing think tank supporting Trump's policies.
