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.
