Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has been named as President-elect Donald Trump's new choice to run the Justice Department, following Rep. Matt Gaetz's withdrawal from consideration. Bondi brings a wealth of legal experience to the role, having practiced law in Florida for over a decade.
During her tenure as a prosecutor in Tampa and later as the state attorney general, Bondi gained a reputation for being a media-savvy and effective litigator. Elected during the conservative tea party wave, she became increasingly partisan over her two terms in office, making regular appearances on Fox News and serving as a top Florida surrogate for Trump during his 2016 campaign.
