Aide for Florida Attorney General Slated for U.S. Education Dept. Lawyer

A top aide to Pam Bondi, Florida's Attorney General, is nominated by President Trump to serve as the top lawyer for the U.S. Education Department.  

The nomination of Carlos Muniz is controversial because he was involved in the decision not to pursue legal action against Trump University. In 2013, Muniz, who served as Bondi’s chief of staff for three years, was included in discussions about student complaints alleging fraud with Trump’s namesake real-estate seminars. He defended the office's decision to sit out in legal action against the university.

President Donald Trump has announced his intent to nominate Muniz to serve as general counsel to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. Muniz still has to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
