A heated exchange took place during the confirmation hearing for Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi as Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff of California questioned her on various issues related to pardons and evidence preservation.
Bondi and Schiff sparred over the potential influence of Bondi's personal political beliefs on decisions regarding pardons for January 6 rioters. Schiff pressed Bondi on whether she would consider blanket pardons or review requests on a case-by-case basis. Bondi emphasized that she would not play politics with any investigation and would have sufficient staff to handle the workload.
