It would appear that President Trump’s campaign co-chair, and current selection for Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, was the link that pushed Pam Bondi to become the next Attorney General nominee.
From the Associated Press:
[…] Bondi worked as a lobbyist for Ballard Partners, the powerful Florida-based firm where Trump’s campaign chief and incoming chief of staff Susie Wiles was a partner. Her U.S. clients have included General Motors, the commissioner of Major League Baseball and a Christian anti-human-trafficking advocacy group.
She also lobbied for a Kuwaiti firm, according to Justice Department foreign agent filings and congressional lobbying documents. She registered as a foreign agent for the government of Qatar; her work was related to anti-human-trafficking efforts leading up to the World Cup, held in 2022.
Bondi also represented the KGL Investment Company KSCC, a Kuwaiti firm also known as KGLI, lobbying the White House, National Security Council, State Department and Congress on immigration policy, human rights and economic sanctions issues. (Source)
You might note, Pam Bondi and Mr James Rubin are the “key personnel” on the foreign agent registration notification. In his current role working for Joe Biden, James Rubin heads the U.S. State Department’s Global Engagement Center.
