After President Trump’s first pick to be attorney general withdrew from consideration in one of the quickest timeframes in history, Republicans seem pretty happy with his new choice, the former Florida attorney general, Pam Bondi — even if she was once accused of stealing a dog. 

Trump’s previous choice for the position, Congressman Matt Gaetz, withdrew his name for consideration amid allegations of sexual misconduct that overshadowed his nomination. Now, Republicans are rallying behind Ms. Bondi, who made history as the first female attorney general of Florida, and praising Trump’s decision to nominate her. Even some critics of the president-elect suggested she is one of his better choices.
