Trump Nominates Pam Bondi for Attorney General

Following the sudden withdrawal by former Congressman Matt Gaetz as President Donald Trump’s nominee for Attorney General, Trump announced that former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is his new choice.

As he posted on Truth Social:

I am proud to announce former Attorney General of the Great State of Florida, Pam Bondi, as our next Attorney General of the United States. Pam was a prosecutor for nearly 20 years, where she was very tough on Violent Criminals, and made the streets safe for Florida Families. Then, as Florida’s first female Attorney General, she worked to stop the trafficking of deadly drugs, and reduce the tragedy of Fentanyl Overdose Deaths, which have destroyed many families across our Country. She did such an incredible job, that I asked her to serve on our Opioid and Drug Abuse Commission during my first Term — We saved many lives!

For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans – Not anymore. Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again. I have known Pam for many years — She is smart and tough, and is an AMERICA FIRST Fighter, who will do a terrific job as Attorney General!

Here’s the report from Fox News:

Early reactions from social media were generally positive:

As I noted on X:

If corporate media hates her, that’s a good sign.

Pam Bondi was public about her belief that there was massive, widespread voter fraud during the 2020 election and went on air to claim she believed he definitely won Pennsylvania.

She led a coalition of Attorneys General to try to take down Obamacare.

She fought against the Ukraine impeachment debacle side-by-side with President Trump.

She’s not Matt Gaetz. Not as aggressive. Not as “based,” perhaps. But I believe she’s a solid pick for Attorney General.

This is a breaking story and will be updated with new developments.
