Trump Nominates Pam Bondi as Attorney General, Signaling Focus on Antitrust and Drug Policy

Bondi, a former Florida attorney general and Trump ally, is expected to bring her legal expertise and bipartisan reputation to the Department of Justice.

Pam Bondi, Florida's former attorney general, has been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to lead the U.S. Department of Justice.
Bondi has a history of addressing antitrust issues in sports, including her role in a 2016 settlement with the NFL over ticket pricing practices.
Her tenure is likely to prioritize drug enforcement, leveraging her record of combating opioid abuse and pill mills during her time in Florida.
Bondi’s bipartisan reputation as a consensus builder contrasts with concerns over Trump's calls to investigate political opponents and reshape the DOJ.
If confirmed, Bondi will oversee significant legal challenges, including antitrust cases in sports, NCAA regulations, and potential Title IX disputes.
