  • As President-elect Donald Trump's pick for attorney general, Pam Bondi, gets set for her Senate confirmation hearings, only about 2 in 10 U.S. adults are "extremely" or "very" confident the Justice Department will act in a fair and nonpartisan manner

The article from ABC News discusses a recent survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, which reveals that only about 2 in 10 American adults have high confidence in the Justice Department and the FBI to act fairly and appropriately. This skepticism is particularly pronounced among Republicans, with only 10% expressing strong confidence in the FBI, compared to 33% of Democrats. The survey highlights a significant partisan divide, with confidence levels dropping even further among Republicans when it comes to the Justice Department, where only 7% have high confidence. This lack of trust stems from various controversies and perceived biases in high-profile investigations, including those involving former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden. The survey also notes that overall, about 4 in 10 Americans have little to no confidence in these institutions, reflecting a broader erosion of trust in federal law enforcement agencies.
