The Senate is moving towards confirming Pam Bondi as the U.S. attorney general, a long-time ally of former President Donald Trump. Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, is expected to lead a reshaping of the Justice Department, which Trump felt unfairly targeted him through investigations. Critics are concerned about Bondi’s close ties to Trump and fear she may prioritize loyalty to him over impartial decision-making. Bondi has denied politicizing the office in her confirmation hearing but has echoed Trump’s views on the justice system. The confirmation vote comes amid turmoil at the FBI, with agents suing the Justice Department over efforts to compile a list of employees involved in Jan. 6 prosecutions. The move raises fears of mass firings within the department. Bondi’s confirmation vote is seen as a critical moment in determining the future direction of the Department of Justice under the Biden administration.
