Trump Nominates Pam Bondi as AG After Gaetz Withdrawal

Nov 25, 2024, 05:47 PM

Pam Bondi has been nominated by President Trump to replace Matt Gaetz as the next Attorney General of the United States. Bondi, a former Florida Attorney General, was previously a registered foreign agent for Qatar, earning $115,000 monthly to lobby on their behalf, particularly to address Qatar's human rights record and support for terrorism. Her nomination follows Gaetz's withdrawal from consideration. Bondi has expressed intentions to deport Hamas sympathizers and pro-Palestinian protesters, and has promised to prosecute 'bad' prosecutors who have accused Trump. If confirmed by the Senate, she is expected to lead a significant overhaul of the Department of Justice.
