Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

President-elect Donald Trump nominated Florida’s former Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead the Justice Department, following Matt Gaetz's withdrawal from consideration. Bondi's nomination has drawn mixed reactions, with supporters praising her legal experience but critics fearing her loyalty to Trump could compromise the DOJ's integrity. Her previous stances on drug policy and political prosecutions, combined with her history of defending Trump, suggest she may align the DOJ with partisan agendas rather than uphold its independent mission.
