Trump Selects Pam Bondi as AG After Gaetz Withdrawal

Donald Trump has nominated former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as his attorney general after Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration. Bondi, a staunch Trump loyalist, defended him during his first impeachment and is expected to help him use the Justice Department against political adversaries. Her nomination has drawn criticism from liberal groups concerned about the department's independence, but she is seen as less controversial than Gaetz. Bondi's past includes defending Florida's same-sex marriage ban and involvement in a Trump University donation controversy.
