The Senate confirmation hearing for Pam Bondi, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for US attorney general, has commenced. Bondi is set to undergo questioning from members of both the Republican and Democratic parties on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Bondi emerged as the president-elect’s choice to lead the Department of Justice following the withdrawal of former GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz from consideration. Gaetz opted out due to troubling allegations and a lack of substantial support.
