Part 2/6:
In a quick turn of events, following Matt Gates' withdrawal from the Attorney General nomination, President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Pam Bondi, a steadfast ally, for the position. Trump announced this on his social media platform, TR social, emphasizing that the Department of Justice had been “weaponized” against Republicans and touting Bondi as a capable candidate to refocus the DOJ on its intended mission: fighting crime and ensuring America's safety.
Pam Bondi’s impressive resume includes her role as Florida's Attorney General where she actively challenged several Obama-era policies, including the Affordable Care Act. Known for her strong support for Trump, she also served on his first impeachment defense team and showed up in support during his hush money trial.
