Pam Bondi's Controversial Path from AG to Trump's DOJ Pick

TL;DR Summary
Pam Bondi's potential appointment as head of the Justice Department raises ethical concerns due to her extensive lobbying background for major corporations like Amazon and Uber. Her ties to Ballard Partners, a top lobbying firm, and her past work for companies currently in legal battles with the DOJ, such as TikTok and UnitedHealth, suggest possible conflicts of interest. Critics worry her leadership could favor corporate interests, while supporters see her as a return to a more business-friendly administration. Bondi's history of avoiding actions against corporate interests as Florida's attorney general adds to the controversy.
