Summary
Donald Trump has nominated Pam Bondi, Florida’s former attorney general (2011–2019) and longtime ally, as his pick for U.S. attorney general after Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration.
Bondi, known for her work combating drug trafficking and her role in Trump’s impeachment defense, will face Senate confirmation.
Her nomination has drawn praise from Republicans, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, and is seen as less controversial than Gaetz, who withdrew amid past allegations.
Bondi’s past ties to Trump, including a donation linked to Trump University investigations, have sparked scrutiny but have been denied as improper.
I don’t know anything about her. What’s her story?
She was the attorney general of Florida, was Trump’s personal attorney during one of his many trials, despite the obvious ethical violations in serving as the personal attorney for a defendant while acting as chief prosecutor in a state…
…and probable Trump side-piece.

Phew, glad to see she’s also a piece of shit. Definitely more appropriate than Gaetz but come on.
Why does that make you happy?
Because I missed the /s
Yeah, she’s basically a perfect Trumpian appointee.
