Bondi won't 'confirm or deny' Trump speculation
TALLAHASSEE - Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi offered little information Tuesday about her future or her discussions with President-elect Donald Trump, as she made one of her first appearances in Tallahassee since meeting with Trump last week in New York.
Bondi, who is term-limited from running again for attorney general in 2018, continues to be rumored as a candidate to head the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, a position informally known as the drug czar. That speculation is in part fueled by her work as attorney general in trying to crack down on pill mills and synthetic drugs.
"I'm not going to confirm or deny anything right now. I went to New York at the request of the president of the United States-elect," said Bondi after a state Cabinet meeting. "I was up there meeting with him, and frankly I don't think anyone should come out of those meetings and talk about anything that was said in those meetings."
Gov. Rick Scott, asked if he's considered the type of candidate he'd consider as a replacement for Bondi if she were to resign, also indicated he wasn't into the speculating.
