Trump picks loyalist Pam Bondi for attorney general as Matt Gaetz withdraws

Al Jazeera  

The former US congressman said he had become a ‘distraction’ following renewed scrutiny of sexual misconduct allegations. US conservative firebrand Matt Gaetz has announced that he is withdrawing from consideration for United States attorney general following renewed focus on sexual misconduct allegations against him. Trump on Thursday swiftly named Pam Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, as his pick for top prosecutor following Gaetz’s withdrawal. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance… — Matt Gaetz November 21, 2024 Gaetz’s history of picking fights with high-level Republican leaders coupled with allegations that he had sexual relations with a 17-year-old girl, a crime under Florida law, helped sink his chances. Trump, who has signalled his intent to wield the power of the government against political opponents, said in a social media post that he was “greatly” appreciative of Gaetz’s work.
