ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions barely was out the door of the Justice Department as the names of his possible replacements were being floated.

Among them, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Bondi, who is term-limited and will be replaced by former Hillsborough County Circuit Judge Ashley Moody, endorsed then-candidate Donald Trump's campaign in spring 2016.

A CBS News producer and reporter Major Garrett report Bondi is on the short list of considerations. So, too, reports McClatchy DC and Roll Call.

Other names being floated include Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and others.

There is no word, yet, as to whether Bondi would accept the job if offered.

"As the Attorney General has repeatedly said, she has not yet made a decision as to what she will do next," spokesman Whitney Ray told the Tampa Bay Times.
