The incoming Trump administration didn’t waste any time after Matt Gaetz said that he was dropping his bid to become attorney general. Soon afterward, it announced that Pam Bondi, the former attorney general of Florida, would seek the top position at the Justice Department instead.
Bondi, 59, who served as Florida’s attorney general from 2011 to 2019 and represented Donald Trump at his first impeachment trial in the Senate, is both an experienced public official and a long-time ally of the president-elect.
