Bondi’s Evasive Answers on 2020 Election Fuel Confirmation Concerns
During her Senate confirmation hearing, Pam Bondi, Donald Trump’s nominee for Attorney General, repeatedly avoided stating that Trump lost the 2020 election, despite acknowledging Joe Biden’s presidency. She deflected questions regarding evidence of election fraud and her potential handling of investigations into Trump’s associates, including Jack Smith and Liz Cheney. Bondi emphasized her commitment to the Constitution and non-partisan justice, but her responses raised concerns about her independence from Trump’s influence. Her confirmation could lead to a Justice Department significantly shaped by Trump’s legal team and allies.
