After the resignation of Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump has a quick replacement at the top of the Department of Justice in Pam Bondi. As a prosecutor and former attorney general in Florida, the 59-year-old brings a lot of experience with her.
Just six hours after Matt Gaetz abruptly withdrew as attorney general candidate, Donald Trump nominated another Florida confidante, Pam Bondi, for the top job in Washington. He sees the Ministry of Justice as a key division in the fight against the alleged “instrumentation” of the judiciary.
Why he didn’t choose Bondi, the longtime prosecutor, former Florida attorney general and all-purpose legal weapon, is a mystery. In any case, there was great praise in advance for the candidate in the Senate. Probably also because the Republicans have taken a load off their minds.
