In her first confirmation hearing Wednesday, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general, Pam Bondi, parroted conservative talking points, railing against the alleged politicization of the Justice Department under Preside Joe Biden while claiming ignorance of many key moments in Trump’s political career — and refusing to say who won the 2020 election.
If there was one theme returned to most frequently during Wednesday's confirmation hearing, it was the alleged "weaponization" of the department she has been picked to lead. Democrats, on the other hand, sought assurances that she wouldn’t engage in her own political prosecutions of Trump’s critics.
