Pam Bondi, Trump’s AG nominee, has significant stock in Truth Social and earned over $1 million from lobbying last year
Last year, she also raked in over $1 million from her lobbying gigs. Not too shabby, right? Her total net worth was reported to be over $12.1 million, which includes her and her husband’s assets.
Bondi revealed all this in a financial statement she submitted for her Senate confirmation. It’s pretty interesting stuff. She’s been busy since leaving her role as Florida’s Attorney General in 2019, working as a lobbyist and consultant.
In her financial disclosure, she mentioned earning a salary of $1,067,000 from Ballard Partners, plus consulting fees and legal fees from various firms. She even made some cash from Newsmax!
Her clients include a mix of sheriff’s associations and a refrigerant manufacturer. She also did some legal work for Pfizer. Bondi got her Truth Social shares as part of her consulting work when the company went public last March.
At that time, she received shares worth nearly $3 million, and it looks like she made almost $1 million from that investment in just nine months.
Now, there’s some uncertainty about whether she’ll need to sell those shares if she gets confirmed. That’ll depend on her ethics agreement, which hasn’t been made public yet.
The Trump team hasn’t commented on this situation, but it’s worth noting that many of Trump’s nominees have had to divest from certain assets to avoid conflicts of interest.
Bondi was chosen after former Rep. Matt Gaetz stepped back from the nomination. Her confirmation hearings kicked off on Wednesday, and she’s expected to get the green light from the Senate.
