Pam Bondi Confirmed as U.S. Attorney General Under Trump Administration

The Senate voted 54-46 to approve Bondi, a Trump ally, as she pledges to end perceived DOJ 'weaponization' and restore integrity.

Pam Bondi, former Florida attorney general, was confirmed by the Senate in a 54-46 vote, with Sen. John Fetterman as the lone Democrat supporting her nomination.
Bondi's confirmation follows her vocal criticism of the Justice Department's investigations into Donald Trump and her pledge to depoliticize the department.
Her nomination has drawn scrutiny over her close ties to Trump, including her defense of him during his first impeachment trial and her support of his 2020 election fraud claims.
The Justice Department has already undergone significant personnel changes, including the dismissal of prosecutors involved in Trump-related investigations and the Capitol riot cases.
Democrats raised concerns about Bondi's ability to act independently of Trump, while Republicans emphasized her qualifications and prior experience as a prosecutor.
