NEW YORK (AP) — Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general, was chosen Thursday by Donald Trump to serve as U.S. attorney general hours after his first choice, Matt Gaetz, withdrew from consideration after a federal sex trafficking investigation and ethics probe made his ability to be confirmed dubious.

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.

The announcement came just hours after the President-elect’s first pick, former Rep. Matt Gaetz, withdrew his name from consideration.
