Pam Bondi had insisted at her Senate confirmation hearing that as attorney general, her Justice Department would not "play politics."
The article from MSN discusses concerns over the independence of the U.S. Justice Department as former President Donald Trump's team exerts influence over legal cases and department staff. It highlights how Trump's allies are pushing for greater control, which could politicize the department's operations. This includes influencing ongoing investigations, the handling of cases, and personnel decisions. Critics argue that such actions threaten the DOJ's autonomy, traditionally maintained to ensure impartial law enforcement and justice. The piece also mentions specific instances where Trump's team has attempted to intervene in legal matters, raising alarms about potential conflicts of interest and the erosion of the department's integrity.
