President-elect Donald Trump has announced that Pam Bondi will be his pick for attorney general. Bondi previously served as Florida’s attorney general and has been praised by Trump for her work against drug trafficking. Trump stated that Bondi will refocus the Department of Justice on fighting crime and making America safe again. This announcement came shortly after former Rep. Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration for the position. Bondi has previously worked on a Trump commission focused on ending the opioid crisis and combating drug addiction. The attorney general position will require confirmation by the Senate. Trump believes that under Bondi’s leadership, the Department of Justice will no longer be weaponized against Republicans. This is a developing story and further updates are expected. Megan Lebowitz is reporting on this development for NBC News.
