The Senate confirmation hearing for Pam Bondi, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for US attorney general, is currently on a lunch break. Bondi has been facing a series of questions during the hearing.
One of the key topics discussed was Bondi's loyalty to Trump. She assured the committee that there would be no 'enemies list' at the Department of Justice if she is confirmed as the US attorney general.
During the hearing, Bondi made statements regarding the phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in 2021. She also claimed that there was a peaceful transition of power, despite the events of January 6 when the US Capitol was attacked, disrupting the election certification process.
The confirmation hearing has been marked by intense scrutiny and debate over Bondi's qualifications and her stance on various issues. Senators from both parties have been actively engaging with Bondi, seeking clarity on her positions and priorities if she assumes the role of US attorney general.
As the hearing resumes after the lunch break, it is expected that more questions will be posed to Bondi, delving into her legal background, policy perspectives, and plans for leading the Department of Justice.
The outcome of the confirmation hearing will play a crucial role in determining whether Pam Bondi will be confirmed as the next US attorney general, overseeing the nation's legal affairs and upholding the principles of justice and fairness.
