AG Pick Pam Bondi Flips the Script on Democrats During Her Confirmation Hearing

President-elect Trump’s attorney general nominee, Pam Bondi, pushed back against concerns over her potential to politicize the Justice Department during a Wednesday Senate hearing.

Key Facts:

• Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., asked Bondi about prosecutors who look for a person first before finding a crime.
• Bondi replied that for the past four years, Donald Trump has faced investigations that seemed personal rather than impartial.
• Eric Daugherty called Bondi’s exchange with Whitehouse a “Masterclass” on social media.
• Bondi said she would not use the DOJ to target individuals based on political beliefs.
• She is expected to be confirmed and may gain some Democratic votes.

The Rest of The Story:

During her confirmation hearing, Bondi was questioned by Sen. Whitehouse about how prosecutors should handle investigations.

The senator suggested that proper investigations begin with a crime, not a suspect.

Bondi responded by saying the federal government had done the opposite in targeting Donald Trump over the past four years.

She emphasized that as attorney general, she would not politicize the office or target people for their political views.

Instead, she said, she would work to apply the law fairly.

Her stance immediately prompted support from conservative commentators online.

Eric Daugherty wrote on X that she offered a “Masterclass,” while Greg Price said she was making Whitehouse “look stupid.”

Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich also weighed in on social media, saying that Bondi’s explanation showed how the DOJ “did the opposite to Trump for years.”

Bondi’s supporters argue that her approach could help restore trust in federal law enforcement by ensuring that political allegiances do not determine who faces scrutiny.

It remains to be seen how she will handle high-profile investigations if confirmed by the Senate, but some expect her to win over a few Democratic votes in the process.

The Bottom Line:

Bondi’s commitment to impartial justice appealed to conservatives who worry about partisan investigations.

She intends to move the DOJ away from personal vendettas and toward fair enforcement of the law.
