Sat Nov 23 00:55:04 UTC 2024: ## Trump’s Attorney General Nominee’s Qatari Lobbying Past Raises Eyebrows
**Washington D.C.** – President-elect Donald Trump’s newly announced Attorney General nominee, Pam Bondi, faces scrutiny over her past lobbying work for the Qatari government. Bondi, Florida’s former Attorney General, served as a partner at the lobbying firm Ballard Partners, where she earned $115,000 per month to lobby Congress on human trafficking issues on behalf of Qatar from July to November 2019. She temporarily suspended her lobbying activities to assist Trump during his first impeachment trial before resuming her contracts. This revelation, first reported by The New York Times, raises questions about potential conflicts of interest as she assumes a position overseeing the Department of Justice. Bondi’s nomination follows the withdrawal of Trump’s previous choice, Matt Gaetz, amidst allegations of sexual misconduct.
