Miller Runs DOJ, Bondi a Figurehead, Report Claims
The New York Times reports that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s tenure is characterized by a significant departure from the traditional independence of the Department of Justice. Instead, the White House, particularly Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, is alleged to be directing the department’s agenda, with Bondi acting primarily as a messenger executing White House directives. This has led to criticism from both sides of the political spectrum, with some questioning her effectiveness and others defending her actions as necessary to counter a perceived “liberal” workforce. Bondi’s frequent appearances on Fox News, while boosting her profile, have also drawn criticism for prioritizing media appearances over departmental duties. Ultimately, her performance as Attorney General is viewed as highly performative and subservient to the White House.
