Pam Bondi got full support from Republicans but faced repeated questions from Democrats about whether she would protect the Justice Department from political influence.
The article discusses the Senate Judiciary Committee's questioning of Pam Bondi, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Attorney General, regarding her independence and potential conflicts of interest. Democrats expressed concerns about Bondi's past interactions with Trump, particularly her decision not to pursue a fraud investigation against Trump University after receiving a $25,000 campaign contribution from Trump. Bondi defended her actions, asserting her independence and integrity, and highlighted her commitment to upholding the law without favoritism. She also mentioned that she had recused herself from the Trump University case to avoid any appearance of impropriety. The hearing focused on her ability to serve impartially, given her previous financial and political ties to Trump.
