President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general, Pam Bondi, faced intense questioning during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. Bondi, a former attorney general of Florida, has a history of defending Trump, including during his first impeachment trial in 2019.
Bondi, 59, was nominated for the position after Rep. Matt Gaetz withdrew his candidacy. She was the first woman to be elected as attorney general in Florida and has been a vocal supporter of Trump, even going as far as to support his baseless claims of election fraud in the 2020 election.
During the hearing, Bondi faced tough questions about her allegiance to Trump and her involvement in legal proceedings related to the election. She has been a part of Trump’s legal team, advocating for policies for his second term and filing lawsuits in battleground states.
Critics have raised concerns about Bondi’s impartiality and her willingness to defend Trump at all costs. As the Senate evaluates her qualifications for the role of attorney general, the hearing provided insight into Bondi’s views and past actions.
The confirmation process for Bondi will continue as the Senate Judiciary Committee deliberates on her nomination. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
