About our Pam Bondi news
Latest news on Pam Bondi, former Florida Attorney General and newly confirmed US Attorney General, tracking her confirmation, career and policies.
Pamela Jo Bondi was nominated by President-elect Trump on 21 November 2024, and confirmed by the Senate in a 54–46 vote on 4 February 2025. She was officially sworn in the next day. A Republican and Florida’s first female Attorney General (2011–2019), Bondi has been a key figure in Trump’s political circle.
Bondi's nomination faced scrutiny over her past work as a lobbyist and her ties to various organisations, including her representation of Qatar and private prison company The GEO Group. Her Senate confirmation hearings raised questions about potential conflicts of interest and her previous support of Trump's claims regarding the 2020 election.
Beyond her political career, Bondi's background includes extensive experience as a prosecutor in Hillsborough County, Florida, where she handled high-profile cases including the prosecution of former Major League Baseball player Dwight Gooden. She has maintained strong connections to her home state of Florida, where her father served as mayor of Temple Terrace.
Her journey in public service began as a Democrat before switching to the Republican Party in 2000. As Florida Attorney General, she led significant legal challenges, including opposing the Affordable Care Act and defending Florida's ban on same-sex marriage. She later served on Trump's first impeachment defence team and became a vocal supporter of his efforts to challenge the 2020 election results.
