Bondi Shuts Down FBI Foreign Influence Task Force Amidst Foreign Lobbying Controversy
Attorney General Pam Bondi’s confirmation was highly controversial due to her election denialism, bribery allegations, and past failures. Further raising concerns, Bondi’s resume uniquely includes work as a registered foreign agent for Qatar, a fact seemingly overlooked during her Senate confirmation. On her first day, Bondi disbanded the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force, despite warnings of increasing foreign interference in U.S. elections, effectively halting efforts to combat malign influence campaigns. This decision has been widely criticized as potentially leaving the U.S. vulnerable to foreign interference.
