US President-elect Donald Trump has nominated long-time ally and veteran prosecutor Pam Bondi as his new pick for attorney general, hours after Matt Gaetz withdrew his name from consideration.
Bondi has a long track record in law enforcement and previously served as Florida’s attorney general.
A loyal Trump ally, she was part of his legal team during his first Senate impeachment trial and also publicly supported him by showing up at court during his hush money trial in New York.
The news of Bondi’s nomination came about six hours after Gaetz said he would not seek the high-profile cabinet post, following days of debate over whether to release a congressional report on sexual misconduct allegations against him. Gaetz has vehemently denied the claims.
