The plot thickens.
President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social:
I am proud to announce former Attorney General of the Great State of Florida, Pam Bondi, as our next Attorney General of the United States. Pam was a prosecutor for nearly 20 years, where she was very tough on Violent Criminals, and made the streets safe for Florida Families. Then, as Florida’s first female Attorney General, she worked to stop the trafficking of deadly drugs, and reduce the tragedy of Fentanyl Overdose Deaths, which have destroyed many families across our Country. She did such an incredible job, that I asked her to serve on our Opioid and Drug Abuse Commission during my first Term — We saved many lives!
For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans – Not anymore. Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again. I have known Pam for many years — She is smart and tough, and is an AMERICA FIRST Fighter, who will do a terrific job as Attorney General!
Future Attorney General Pam Bondi masterfully defended President Trump at the sham impeachment trial and exposed the fact that Hunter & Joe Biden took bribes from Ukraine.

MSNBC is melting down over Pam Bondi as Attorney General:
“We should all fear [her] because she’s competent.”
“She actually knows how to do this job.”
“She knows what she’s doing about immigration.”
“She is a dangerous and effective pick.”

Pam Bondi, Trump’s candidate for Attorney General:
“These students in universities that say ‘I support Hamas, I am Hamas,’ they need to be taken out of our country.”

Trump picks former prosecutor Pam Bondi for attorney general
President-elect cites work as Florida attorney general who fought overdose deaths
By Ryan Tarinelli, Roll call, November 21, 2024 at 8:10pm
President-elect Donald Trump announced he will nominate Pam Bondi to be his next attorney general, in a social media post Thursday that touted the former Florida attorney general’s history as a prosecutor who “was very tough on Violent Criminals.”
Bondi, if confirmed, would oversee a sprawling Department of Justice responsible for federal criminal prosecution and a wide array of law enforcement. In the role, she could advocate for certain funding priorities, implement internal changes, and shift policy on topics like immigration, voting rights and antitrust enforcement.
“As Florida’s first female Attorney General, she worked to stop the trafficking of deadly drugs, and reduce the tragedy of Fentanyl Overdose Deaths, which have destroyed many families across our Country,” Trump said in the post. “She did such an incredible job, that I asked her to serve on our Opioid and Drug Abuse Commission during my first Term — We saved many lives!”
Trump also said he’s known Bondi for years and described her as “smart” and an “AMERICA FIRST Fighter.”
“For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans — Not anymore,” Trump said in the post. “Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again.”
Bondi would likely be tasked with implementing Trump’s plans to remake an agency he fumed at during the campaign trail.
