The Republican-led U.S. Senate confirmed Pam Bondi as the new U.S. attorney general on Tuesday, propelling one of President Donald Trump's staunchest political allies to the top perch of American law enforcement.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has been sworn into office. “I will restore integrity to the Justice Department and I will fight violent crime throughout this country and throughout this world and make America safe again,” Bondi vowed at the ceremony.

As the country’s top prosecutor, she will serve in a role that has proved challenging under Trump. But Bondi, a staunch loyalist to the president, is unlikely to clash with him like previous AGs.
