Trump announced his selection of former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday, just hours after former Florida U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz withdrew his name from consideration for the post.
From his Truth Social media account, Trump praised Bondi and what she will bring to the office.
“For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans — Not anymore,” Trump wrote. “Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting crime and making America safe again.”
