Pam Bondi will face the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday for the first day of her confirmation hearing to be attorney general, a high-profile appearance that could shed light on how she would handle controversial plans for the Justice Department from President-elect Donald Trump.
Bondi, a former Florida attorney general and an ardent Trump supporter, will head into the Senate hearing with strong backing from Republicans who point to her lengthy career as a prosecutor and say she would be a much-needed change agent for the Justice Department.
Judiciary Chairman Charles E. Grassley, R-Iowa, said earlier this month that he was “enthused with her work as attorney general of Florida and what she’s done as a prosecutor.”
