**Donald Trump Nominates Pam Bondi as U.S. Attorney General**
*Washington, D.C. — November 22, 2024*
Former President Donald Trump has announced the nomination of Pam Bondi, the former Florida Attorney General, as his choice for U.S. Attorney General in his anticipated return to the White House.
Bondi, a staunch ally of Trump during his presidency, is known for her work in Florida politics and her outspoken support of Trump’s policies. In a statement, Trump praised Bondi as “a tireless advocate for law and order” and noted her extensive experience in both state and national legal matters.
“Pam has been a strong defender of our country’s legal system, and her leadership will bring strength, fairness, and a commitment to justice to the Department of Justice,” Trump said in the announcement. “She has fought against corruption and stood up for the rule of law in the face of tremendous opposition.”
Bondi, 58, served as Florida’s Attorney General from 2011 to 2019, where she earned a reputation for her conservative positions on crime, immigration, and consumer protection. She also garnered national attention for her role in the litigation surrounding Trump University, which was resolved in 2016 with a $25 million settlement. Despite some criticism from Democrats, Bondi remained a staunch defender of Trump throughout his presidency.
If confirmed by the Senate, Bondi would succeed Attorney General Merrick Garland, whose tenure has been marked by intense scrutiny over his handling of high-profile investigations and the January 6th Capitol riot. Her nomination is expected to face a contentious confirmation process, as many Senate Democrats have already expressed concerns about her alignment with Trump’s controversial political legacy.
Bondi’s nomination comes at a pivotal moment, with Trump positioning himself as a candidate for the 2024 presidential election and seeking to reshape the administration’s approach to law enforcement and the judiciary. Critics argue that her selection signals Trump’s intent to reassert executive control over the Justice Department, which has been a flashpoint for political battles throughout his previous term in office.
Supporters, however, argue that Bondi’s background in law enforcement and her commitment to the conservative agenda make her a strong choice to oversee the nation’s legal affairs. “Pam is tough, experienced, and understands the law,” said Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) in support of the nomination.
Bondi, for her part, has yet to comment publicly on her nomination, but sources close to the former Attorney General suggest that she is eager to return to public service at the national level.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to schedule hearings on Bondi’s nomination in the coming weeks, with a full Senate vote likely before the end of the year.
