Donald Trump names Pam Bondi as attorney general
US President Donald Trump on Friday named former Florida Attorney General and long-time ally Pam Bondi as his new attorney general.
According to reports, the nomination was made hours after Matt Gaetz withdrew his name for consideration.
In a statement issued by Trump on Tue Social, the President-elect said: "I am proud to announce former Attorney General of the Great State of Florida, Pam Bondi, as our next Attorney General of the United States."
"Pam was a prosecutor for nearly 20 years, where she was very tough on Violent Criminals, and made the streets safe 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, which have destroyed many families across our Country," she said.
Trump said Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and 'Making America Safe Again'.
"I have known Pam for many years — She is smart and tough, and is an AMERICA FIRST Fighter, who will do a terrific job as Attorney General!" Trump said.
