Former DOJ Officials Endorse Pam Bondi For Attorney General

Pam Bondi, President-elect Donald Trump's choice to lead the Justice Department as attorney general, appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee for her confirmation hearing, at the Capitol in Washi

Dozens of former Justice Department (DOJ) officials have come together to support the confirmation of President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general, Pam Bondi. In a letter addressed to the Senate Judiciary Committee, over 110 senior DOJ officials, who have served under both Democratic and Republican administrations, praised Bondi's dedication to upholding the rule of law.

The signatories highlighted Bondi's extensive experience, particularly citing her tenure as Florida’s former attorney general. They emphasized that her background as a prosecutor in the Hillsborough County State Attorney’s office for 18 years uniquely qualifies her for the role of attorney general.

The letter was signed by prominent figures such as former U.S. attorneys general John Ashcroft, Jeff Sessions, Bill Barr, and Edwin Meese. Other notable signatories included former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, deputy attorneys general Rod Rosenstein and Jeffrey Rosen, as well as Randy Grossman, who served as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of California under the Biden administration.

The DOJ alumni expressed their 'strong and enthusiastic support' for Bondi, noting that it is uncommon for senior Justice Department officials, especially Attorneys General, to possess such a wealth of experience in maintaining community safety on a daily basis.
