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.

Bondi attended the University of Florida and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in criminal justice. After receiving her Juris Doctor from the Stetson University College of Law, the Tampa, Florida, native was admitted to the state bar in 1991.
