Senate confirms Pam Bondi as US attorney general, putting Trump ally at Justice Department’s helm
The Senate has confirmed Pam Bondi as U.S. attorney general. Her confirmation puts a longtime ally of Donald Trump at the helm of a Justice Department that has already been rattled by the firings of career employees seen as disloyal to the Republican president.
Summary
The Senate confirmed Pam Bondi as U.S. attorney general in a 54-46 vote, solidifying a key Trump ally at the Justice Department.
Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, is expected to reshape the DOJ, which has faced mass firings of officials linked to Trump-related investigations.
She has echoed Trump’s claims of a “weaponized” justice system and refused to rule out prosecuting his adversaries.
Not that it would have changed anything, but Fetterman voted to confirm.
Well, sure. We needed a new DINO now that Manchin and Sinema are gone.
Another progressive turns out to be republican. While leftists online get more vocal about removing closed primaries so there is no vetting process to prevent this.
Because he's MAGA now.
