Trump names Pam Bondi for AG

Since yesterday, I have read contradictory articles about whether she had a “husband” or merely a “partner” at the time. Either way, the guy was in the same hotel with her, and she slept in Hegseth’s room. I think I also read yesterday that the delay in reporting it to law enforcement was around five days, not fairly quickly, which is why there was no forensic evidence, the most significant of which would be her blood test for date-rape drugs. Still, even if his version of events is the one closest to the truth, he was willing to pay to keep it quiet, which is understandable given his profession. But it also means he’s probably not terribly excited to see her testify before the Senate, either. I think ultimately he will remove himself from consideration.
