During a recent Senate hearing, Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse raised concerns with President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general nominee, Pam Bondi, regarding the potential enforcement of an 'enemies list' at the Department of Justice.
Whitehouse directly asked Bondi if she would consider hiring an individual known to possess such a list. Bondi responded by mentioning Kash Patel and defending him, stating that she does not believe he maintains an enemies list. She assured Whitehouse that he would have the opportunity to question Patel during his hearing.
