Pam Bondi Nominated as Attorney General Following Controversial Tenure in Florida

Donald Trump selects Bondi as his second pick for the role, reigniting scrutiny over her record as Florida’s attorney general.

Pam Bondi, a former Florida attorney general and Fox News commentator, has been nominated by Donald Trump to serve as the next U.S. attorney general.
Bondi’s tenure as Florida’s attorney general was marked by controversies, including her handling of complaints against Trump University and allegations of foreclosure fraud investigations being derailed.
Critics highlight her ethical lapses, such as postponing an execution for a fundraiser and accepting a $25,000 donation from Trump’s foundation during a review of complaints against his business.
Supporters point to her high-profile prosecutions as a homicide prosecutor and her efforts against human trafficking and pill mills during her time in office.
Bondi’s nomination follows the withdrawal of Trump’s first pick, Matt Gaetz, and has drawn mixed reactions from legal and political circles.
