President-elect Donald Trump announced Thursday evening that his new pick for attorney general is Pam Bondi.
Bondi previously served as Florida’s attorney general.
"For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans — Not anymore," Trump said in a post to Truth Social.
The attorney general position would require confirmation by the Senate.
Trump praised Gaetz on Truth Social after he withdrew, saying that Gaetz "has a wonderful future."
