In the hours following Matt Gaetz's withdrawal from consideration, President-elect Donald Trump selected Florida's Pam Bondi to be his next U.S. attorney general.

"For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans – Not anymore," Trump said in a statement.

"Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again. I have known Pam for many years — She is smart and tough, and is an AMERICA FIRST Fighter, who will do a terrific job as Attorney General!"

Bondi served as one of Trump's lawyers during his first impeachment trial, when he was accused of conditioning military aid to Ukraine on the Eastern European nation's commitment to investigating Joe Biden.

The Sunshine State's first ever female attorney general previously served on a Trump commission tasked with curtailing the opioid crisis and drug addiction more broadly. The former president has commended her work in combating "the trafficking of deadly drugs."

Trump's original pick was also a Floridian — a far more controversial one. Gaetz had been under a House ethics investigation for a variety of scandals, including an allegation that he had sexual encounters with an underage girl.

"While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition," Gaetz posted on social media earlier in the day.

"There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I'll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General," he said.

Bondi's bid at AG will still require confirmation by the newly Republican upper chamber of Congress.

The popularity of this supplement has shifted over the years, as have its primary uses. But over the past couple of decades, the hype around fish oil has arguably reached an all-time high.
