Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, alongside South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, is spearheading a multistate coalition urging the U.S. Senate to confirm former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as the 87th U.S. Attorney General. Bondi, Florida’s first female attorney general, served in the role for eight years and has nearly two decades of experience as a prosecutor.

President-elect Donald Trump's spin on his nomination of Pam Bondi as attorney general is notably different from the way he presented the nominee she replaced. Trump portrayed former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, who withdrew his name from consideration after just eight days when it became clear that his confirmation was highly unlikely, as a radical reformer who would "end Weaponized Government" and "restore Americans' badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department." Trump's announcement of Bondi's nomination, by contrast, emphasized her extensive experience as a prosecutor (an area where Gaetz was notably lacking) and her bona fides as a crime fighter.

She said she was considering tax fraud charges against Trump University. Then his foundation donated $25,000 to her reelection PAC.

President-elect Donald Trump picked former Fla. attorney general Pam Bondi to be his next U.S. attorney general nominee after Matt Gaetz's withdrawal.
