The Senate Judiciary Committee is currently reviewing the nomination of Pam Bondi as Attorney General under President Donald Trump. Bondi has made promises to eliminate political influence within the Department of Justice (DOJ), pledging "one tier of justice for all." However, her reluctance to directly acknowledge Trump’s loss in the 2020 election has caused concern among Democratic senators about her impartiality.
During the confirmation hearing, Bondi was pressed on her views regarding election integrity and her ongoing support for Trump’s allegations of voter fraud. While she refused to directly confirm Trump’s election defeat, she did acknowledge Joe Biden as president. Additionally, Bondi hinted at a potential investigation into Special Counsel Jack Smith, further raising questions about her independence should she be confirmed.
