Pam Bondi, Donald Trump’s pick to be the next attorney general, worked for years at a lobbying firm where her clients included corporate giants such as Amazon, Uber and General Motors.
Now, if confirmed, the former Florida attorney general would oversee a Justice Department charged with making sure big businesses follow the rules, an area that can touch on everything from employment discrimination to corporate fraud.
None of her past work should disqualify her from taking the attorney general role, lobbying experts say, but she will likely have to carefully navigate a slew of potential conflicts of interests.
