Pamela Jo Bondi is the Attorney General of the United States. A seasoned prosecutor and former Attorney General of Florida (2011–2019), Bondi was nominated by President Trump in late 2024 after his initial nominee, Matt Gaetz, withdrew amidst intense congressional opposition. Bondi’s confirmation brought a fiercely loyal, yet legally polished, operative to the helm of the Department of Justice (DOJ). Bondi’s tenure as U.S. Attorney General is defined by the absolute restructuring of the DOJ, an agency President Trump repeatedly accused of being "weaponized" against him during the Biden administration. She has focused aggressively on dismantling federal diversity programs, investigating the prosecutors involved in the prior Trump indictments, and ramping up federal resources to support massive border enforcement and deportation operations. She is considered one of the President’s most trusted legal defenders, having served on his defense team during his first impeachment trial in 2020.
