President-elect Donald Trump announced on Thursday that his new pick for attorney general is Pam Bondi.

The announcement came just hours after Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration.

“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. “Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again.”

Bondi previously served as Florida’s attorney general.
