Who has Trump picked for his Cabinet? Pam Bondi nominated for AG after Gaetz’s exit
After former Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Republican from Florida, withdrew his nomination to be President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general after allegations of sexual misconduct, Trump nominated former Attorney General of Florida Pam Bondi for the job.
Although the GOP is expected to control the U.S. Senate 53-47 in the upcoming year, it became increasingly clear not enough Republicans were willing to back Gaetz’s nomination.
“It is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition,” Gaetz wrote on Thursday.
Gaetz has been under investigation by the Department of Justice for allegations against him of committing statutory rape by paying for sex with a 17-year-old girl and for her to travel with him across state lines. Although that probe was dropped without charges, the House Ethics Committee was looking into the allegations as well.
Trump has been filling his Cabinet at a breakneck pace, at times nominating controversial figures like Gaetz, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Mehmet Oz.
