In 2018, Moody was elected to serve as Florida attorney general. She succeeded Pam Bondi, who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Justice Department.
Moody has a long history of supporting Trump in her role as Florida’s top prosecutor. In 2020, she supported Trump by backing the Texas v. Pennsylvania lawsuit that aimed to overturn his loss in the presidential election that year. And last month, she charged Ryan Wesley Routh, the man accused of attempting to assassinate Trump at one of his Florida golf courses, with attempted felony murder.
