President-elect Donald Trump has selected former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead the U.S. Department of Justice in his upcoming term. This decision, though swift, was largely anticipated within Trump's inner circle due to Bondi's close ties to the president-elect.
Bondi, aged 59, has established herself as a staunch ally of Trump, notably defending him during his impeachment proceedings and serving as the co-chair of the Center for Law and Justice at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), a think tank founded by former Trump aides.
