Donald Trump already has a replacement for the post of Attorney General of the United States. After Matt Gaetz withdrew his candidacy for office due to his sexual scandals, the President-elect has chosen former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as a loyal ally. Bondy had experience as a prosecutor, which Gaetz did not have. Bondi was on the legal team that defended a president in his first impeachment trial. (Impeachment).

Trump has become the first Republican president to propose appointing a woman to head the Justice Department. Bondy should have no problem winning Senate confirmation given his track record and experience. On the other hand, his loyalty to Trump has been proven. He was part of the team that tried to challenge the 2020 elections when Republicans were unable to accept their apparent defeat against Joe Biden.

Bondi was also among those who paraded in New York to show their support for Trump as he was being prosecuted Stormy Daniels case. In this trial, Trump was found guilty by a jury of 34 counts of falsifying invoices, checks and accounting records to hide payments to a porn film actress and thereby cover up a scandal that could have harmed him in the 2016 elections.

Trump announced via his social network, Truth, “I am proud to announce Pam Bondy, the former Attorney General of the great state of Florida, as our next Attorney General of the United States.” “Pam has been a prosecutor for nearly 20 years, cracking down on violent criminals and making the streets safer for Florida families. Then, as Florida’s first female Attorney General, she worked to stop the trafficking of deadly drugs and reduce the tragedy of fentanyl overdose deaths that have destroyed so many families across our country. The President-elect said, “He did such an incredible job that I asked him to be part of our Commission on Drug Abuse and Opioids during his first term. We saved so many lives!”

Bondi served as Attorney General of Florida between 2011 and 2019, when that state’s governor was Rick Scott, who is now a senator. Scott is another staunch Trumpist who was willing to go into recess of the Senate so the president-elect can appoint his senior officials without going through the upper chamber’s confirmation process. However, his fellow senators preferred to elect another leader of the parliamentary group.

The nominee for attorney general was now chair of the Litigation Center at the America First Policy Institute, a think tank working on the Trump transition. He is also a partner at Ballard Partners, the public relations and lobbying firm where Trump’s new chief of staff Susie Wills worked.
