During the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Missouri Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt expressed his desire to hear President-elect Donald Trump's Attorney General pick, Pam Bondi, discuss the importance of accountability at the Justice Department. Schmitt criticized what he referred to as the orchestration of legal actions against President Trump, accusing federal and state prosecutors of attempting to imprison him indefinitely.
When asked if he anticipates Bondi seeking retribution against Trump's adversaries, Schmitt emphasized the need for accountability. He suggested that all individuals at the Department of Justice involved in prosecuting Trump should be terminated immediately. Furthermore, Schmitt indicated that there should likely be investigations into the actions of these individuals.
