Fact-check: Senate confirmation hearing for Pam Bondi, attorney general nominee

  Print publication without navigation

  • Pam Bondi's hearing came on the second day of high-profile confirmation hearings for Trump's second-term nominees. PolitiFact fact checked her statements.

The article from WLRN discusses the Senate confirmation hearing of Pam Bondi for the position of U.S. Attorney General. During the hearing, several key points were addressed:

  • Qualifications and Experience: Bondi's background as Florida's Attorney General from 2011 to 2019 was highlighted, along with her work on consumer protection, fighting opioid abuse, and her involvement in high-profile cases like the prosecution of the "Pill Mill" doctors.

  • Controversies: Her tenure was not without controversy, including her decision not to join a multi-state lawsuit against Trump University, which raised questions about conflicts of interest due to her support for Donald Trump.

  • Political Affiliations: Bondi's close ties to Trump, including her endorsement and subsequent financial support from Trump's foundation, were scrutinized, with Democrats questioning her impartiality.

  • Policy Positions: Bondi defended her record on issues like immigration, criminal justice reform, and her stance on the Affordable Care Act, asserting her commitment to the rule of law and public safety.

  • Confirmation Prospects: Despite the controversies, her confirmation seemed likely due to the Republican majority in the Senate, although some moderate and Democratic senators expressed reservations about her past actions and potential biases.

    The hearing was marked by both support from Republicans who praised her law enforcement credentials and criticism from Democrats who focused on her political affiliations and potential conflicts of interest.
