Pam Bondi was sworn in as U.S. Attorney General by Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas in the presence of President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on February 5, 2025. The Senate confirmed Bondi with a 54-46 vote. Bondi, a former Attorney General of Florida, is known for her involvement in various political events, including introducing Lara Trump at a rally, speaking at the Republican National Convention, and testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee. She has also been part of initiatives such as arresting individuals in a drug raid and participating in a fundraiser for the Humane Society. Bondi has supported President Trump in various ways, defending him during his impeachment trial and endorsing his claims of election fraud. She has been involved in Republican politics for several years, frequently collaborating with other political figures like Senator Rick Scott and former campaign advisor Corey Lewandowski. Bondi’s nomination as U.S. Attorney General faced scrutiny due to her past associations and statements, but ultimately, she assumed the role after former Congressman Matt Gaetz withdrew his nomination. Bondi’s tenure as U.S. Attorney General is expected to be scrutinized further due to her close ties to Trump and her past actions in Florida politics.
