Pam Bondi, Trump’s attorney general nominee, faces tough questions from Democrats concerned about her loyalty to Trump and Justice Department integrity

Bondi, a former attorney general from Florida, has been close to Trump, and that’s raising eyebrows. While Republicans are excited about her, thinking she’ll fix what they see as a biased Justice Department, Democrats are not so sure. They’re concerned about her loyalty to Trump and what that means for justice.
In her opening remarks, Bondi promised to restore integrity to the Justice Department. She said she wants to end any partisan use of the department. But she didn’t really explain what she meant by “one tier of justice.”
Democrats, like Senator Durbin, are likely to point out her long history with Trump and her past comments on cable news. She’s made some pretty bold statements about investigating those she calls the “bad ones” in the Justice Department.
There’s a lot of worry that if she gets the job, she might go after Trump’s enemies. Even though it’s not typical for presidents to meddle in criminal investigations, Trump has a history of calling for inquiries into his opponents.
Durbin pressed Bondi, asking if she’d stand up to Trump if he asked her to do something illegal. Meanwhile, the Republican chairman, Senator Grassley, is more focused on his grievances against the Justice Department, like the Russia investigation.
Bondi, who has a background in law and lobbying, was chosen after Trump’s first pick had to step down due to a scandal. She’s likely to steer the conversation back to her plans for the department, emphasizing her commitment to protecting rights and tackling crime.
She wants to focus on serious issues like violent crime, child predators, and border security. It’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out in the hearing.
