Pam Bondi replaces Matt Gaetz as Attorney General

After former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration for President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general, Trump tapped longtime ally Pam Bondi for the role. Gaetz, whose nomination faced backlash due to allegations of sex trafficking and involvement with a minor, revealed that he does not plan to rejoin Congress.

Meanwhile, Bondi, who played a key role in Trump’s legal team during his first impeachment trial, received a warm welcome and was hailed as a perfect fit for the position.
