Rick Scott-Ann and I are thrilled for our great friend and our next Attorney General @PamBondi! For 8 years I worked alongside Pam to keep Florida safe, and I’m looking forward to working with her to keep our nation safe!

Matt Gaetz-@PamBondi is a stellar selection by President Trump for Attorney General.

Pam and I worked closely together when she was Florida’s Attorney General and I chaired Criminal Justice in the state house.

She’s a proven litigator, an inspiring leader and a champion for all Americans.

She will bring the needed reforms to DOJ.
