The case for Pam Bondi as AG
...
In a decisive move, President-elect Donald Trump announced his selection of Pam Bondi as the next attorney general after former Representative Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration this past Thursday.
Bondi, a seasoned legal professional and former Florida attorney general, brings a wealth of experience and a strong history with Trump to the role.
Bondi served as Florida’s attorney general from 2011 to 2019, earning recognition for her work on combating drug trafficking and opioid abuse. However, she gained national prominence as one of Trump’s defense attorneys during his first impeachment battle.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his admiration for Bondi’s track record, describing her as “very tough on Violent Criminals.”
“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,” Trump wrote. “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 emphasized that Bondi’s leadership would be pivotal in reshaping the Department of Justice, which he criticized as being overly partisan.
“For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans – Not anymore,” Trump added. “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!”
Bondi has been a staunch ally of Trump since the 2016 primaries, solidifying their relationship during her tenure as Florida’s attorney general. After defending Trump during his impeachment, she briefly ventured into the lobbying world but remained a high-profile surrogate for the former president. Regularly appearing on media platforms, Bondi advocated for Trump’s policies and vision.

As a former general counsel, I recognized the importance of finding competent lawyers for working on transactions as well as for dense counsel. Bondi has a track record that demonstrates her competency. While I was an attorney in Texas I worked with Florida officials in reigning in securities fraud bad guys.
