Pam Bondi told the Senate Judiciary Committee she would push to return the Justice Department to “its core mission” if confirmed as the next attorney general, vowing during her confirmation hearing Wednesday to tackle gangs, drugs, terrorists and the nation’s foreign adversaries.
Bondi, a former Florida attorney general and an ardent Donald Trump supporter who has campaigned for him, told members of the Senate Judiciary Committee that she would fight to “restore confidence and integrity” to the Justice Department and its components.
“The partisanship, the weaponization, will be gone. America will have one tier of justice for all,” Bondi said, referencing long-standing grievances from Republican lawmakers and conservatives. “In all this work, I’ll collaborate closely with this committee.”
