Pamela Bondi has been appointed as the next lawyer common by the Senate.
Tuesday evening, the Senate confirmed Bondi by a vote of 54 to 46, with only one Democrat and one Republican in pursuit. The former Florida solicitor general earned a reputation for fighting narcotic “pill factories”, human trafficking, and arranged violence. When Trump selected Bondi to serve as the attorney general of the United States, Trump said that she “is bright and difficult” and” may refocus the DOJ’s intended purpose of fighting crime.”
President Donald Trump emailed on Truth Social on Wednesday,” Thanks to our great and very talented United States Attorney General, Pam Bondi, who gets sworn in now amid great help, and admiration of ALL.” ” I know Pam also, it was an honor to nominate her, and I’m confident that she will be remembered as one of our country’s greatest and most influential lawyer commanders.”
Bondi will probably play an acoustic part in Trump’s transformation of federal law enforcement. If Congress confirms Trump’s FBI director candidate Kash Patel, the duo may be tasked with de-weaponizing an machine that, for far too much, has targeted liberals — , from Trump, to non-violent Jan. 6 protest, to a journalist who exposed child trans mutilations.
Bondi’s company will also have to deal with issues like enforcing antitrust laws, ensuring equal treatment for citizens by governmental agencies, and enforcing immigration laws.
Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley called on Bondi to ensure that such behavior “never happens again” during the first confirmation hearing for Bondi, and he also attacked the political weaponization of America’s justice method against Americans over the past ten years.
However, throughout the hearing, Bondi regularly pushed up on Democrat legislators ‘” concerns” about Trump probably weaponizing the DOJ, despite the Biden and Obama administrations doing just that.
Bondi affirmed that “it is the work of the Attorney General to observe the law”, and vowed that, if confirmed to the part, “it will get my work to not only keep America secure, but restore dignity” to the Justice Department.
” Every case will be prosecuted based on the facts and the law that is applied in good faith,” she said. Politics must be removed from the system, he says. This department has been weaponized for years, and years, and years”.
In a letter from December, a group of 30 then-“current and future” state attorneys general pleaded with Senate leadership to confirm Bondi.
She will bring a unique combination of her experience in both civil service and the criminal justice system, the letter states. ” Most importantly, she will bring a steadfast and unwavering commitment to the rule of law”.
