Pam Bondi is a longtime Trump ally and former attorney general of the state of Florida.
President-elect of the United States Donald Trump has appointed the former attorney general of the state of Florida as the new attorney general of his incoming administration By Pam Bond.
Trump announced the appointment just a few hours after being embroiled in sex scandals Matt Gaetz announced that he would not seek the position of US attorney general.
Pam Bondi is a long-time ally of Trump and, among other things, worked on Trump’s defense team during his impeachment trial in 2020. At that time, the subject of the prosecution was the suspicion that Trump pressured the president of Ukraine to gain an advantage in the election. The Senate acquitted the then president of criminal charges.
In the spring, Pam Bondi was part of the Republican group that supported Trump in the so-called “tampering trial” organized in New York. At the time, a jury found Trump guilty of all 34 counts.
