Senate Democrats on Wednesday pressed Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi about whether she would be independent of the political whims of President Donald Trump and turn the Justice Department against his political enemies.

During one contentious exchange in her confirmation hearing, Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla of California asked Bondi whether she found any evidence of widespread fraud. The senator repeatedly pressed her for a yes or no answer but did not give Bondi an opportunity to expound on her time with the campaign.

In planned remarks to Congress, President-elect Donald Trump's choice to lead the Justice Department commits that "partisan weaponization of the Department of Justice will end" under her watch.

Trump's pick for attorney general claimed her Justice Department would not prosecute anyone for political reasons

Kathleen Parker watched the confirmation hearing for our possible (okay, probable) next attorney general, and thought Pam Bondi gave all sorts of nice, “reassuring” answers that were “crisp and succinct.”

Pam Bondi, Donald Trump's pick for attorney general, made $3 million from shares in Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social's, parent company.

Bondi is expected to receive broad support from Republicans but is facing sharp questions from Democrats about whether she will protect the Justice Department from political influence.

Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi is promising an end to political prosecutions from the Justice Department. “There will never be an enemies’ list within the Department of Justice,” Bondi said during a confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Donald Trump’s attorney general nominee Pam Bondi vowed she would remove politics from the Department of Justice during the first day of her confirmation hearing, though her refusal to answer key questions about Trump’s 2020 election loss and his outspoken desire for retribution raised concerns about how she would execute her promise.

Trump nominated Bondi for the position after his initial pick for attorney general, former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, withdrew amid sexual misconduct allegations .

Pam Bondi sought to allay the concerns of Democrats who said they feared Trump and his allies would use the Justice Department to target their political enemies.
