President-elect Trump has named former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as his next nominee to lead the Department of Justice (DOJ).
For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans – Not anymore. 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 wrote on Truth Social.
Bondi was a senior adviser on Trump’s first impeachment defense team, a role for which she took a leave from Ballard Partners. She then rejoined the firm, which was founded by Florida lobbyist Brian Ballard, the former 2016 chair of Trump Victory.
She was also among a group of Republicans who showed up to support Trump at his New York hush money criminal trial that ended in May with a conviction on 34 felony counts.
She previously served as attorney general of Florida from 2011 to 2019 under then-Gov. Rick Scott.
During that time, she was a chief challenger of numerous Obama-era policies, including the Affordable Care Act. She also defended the state’s ban on same-sex marriage.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who is set to chair the Senate Judiciary Committee in the next Congress predicted a swift confirmation.
“Picking Pam Bondi for Attorney General is a grand slam, touchdown, hole in one, ace, hat trick, slam dunk, Olympic gold medal pick,” he wrote on X.
The "dithering and diminished" "feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap's" string-pullers will rue the day they declared Lawfare against Trump.
