The Senate confirmed Pam Bondi as attorney general in a 54-46 vote, with Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) joining Republicans in support. Bondi, Florida’s former attorney general, has been praised for her prosecutorial work but faced scrutiny over her ties to President Trump and past involvement in his 2020 election challenge.
At her confirmation hearing, Bondi pledged to “restore confidence and integrity” to the Justice Department, vowing to end its “partisan weaponization.” However, Democrats raised concerns about her independence, with Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) warning she could serve Trump’s interests rather than uphold justice.
Bondi takes over amid significant DOJ changes, including the dismissal of prosecutors involved in Trump-related cases and the Capitol riot prosecutions. She also faces questions about the potential appointment of Kash Patel as FBI director.
