Pam Bondi Faces Senate Confirmation Hearing for Attorney General Role
Pam Bondi, former Florida Attorney General and close ally of President-elect Donald Trump, appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee for her confirmation hearing to serve as the nation's top law enforcement officer. She is expected to face questions regarding Trump's potential use of the Justice Department to target political enemies, her lack of federal experience, and her work lobbying for foreign nations. Bondi is not expected to face significant hurdles in the Republican-led Senate.
Meanwhile, Republican Senator Joni Ernst has endorsed Pete Hegseth for Pentagon chief, ensuring his confirmation despite concerns over his stance on women in military combat roles and allegations of sexual assault.
