Trump initially chose Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz to be his attorney general in the incoming administration, but he withdrew his candidacy.
The winner of the US presidential election, Donald Trump, has decided to nominate former Florida Attorney General Pamela Bondi to lead the Department of Justice after Matt Gaetz turned down the position of Attorney General. Bloomberg reported this on Thursday, July 21.
“For too long, the Department of Justice has been politicized and used as a weapon against me and other Republicans. It will end,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
Trump added: “Pam will change the direction of the Department of Justice, return it to its true purpose – fighting crime and keeping America safe. I have known Pam for many years – she is smart, strong and a passionate supporter of America First. He will do a great job as Prosecutor General!
If confirmed, Bondi must follow through on Trump’s promises to strengthen immigration controls and border security.
Pam Bondi (born November 17, 1965) is an American attorney, lobbyist, and politician who served as the Attorney General of Florida from 2011 to 2019, the first woman to hold that position.
Bondi has a law degree from Stetson College. He began his career as an assistant prosecutor in Gillsboro County.
Linked to a case involving a $25,000 donation from Trump to his political committee, which coincided with his decision not to support an investigation into Trump University. He has been criticized for his ties to Scientologists and other controversial donors.
He has been married twice, and remains single as of 2024.
