Senate Judiciary Opens Confirmation Hearings for Trump Loyalist Pam Bondi

HeadlineJan 15, 2025

President Trump’s nominee to serve as U.S. attorney general is appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee today. Pam Bondi served as Florida’s attorney general from 2011 to 2019 and was in Trump’s defense team during his first impeachment trial. Bondi now works at the Trump-aligned America First Policy Institute. As a lobbyist, her clients have included Amazon, GM, Uber and the nation of Qatar. Senators will confront Bondi over her pledge to support Trump’s campaigns to prosecute his political enemies using the Justice Department. In a 2023 Fox News appearance, Bondi said, “The Department of Justice, the prosecutors will be prosecuted — the bad ones. The investigators will be investigated.”
