The Senate Judiciary Committee has set the date for the panel's vote on former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is President Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general. The vote is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, January 29, following a decision to delay the vote by one week due to the use of committee rules by Democrats.
During her confirmation hearing last week, Bondi emphasized her commitment to keeping politics out of the Justice Department. She criticized the Department of Justice under former President Joe Biden for allegedly politicizing law enforcement against Trump.
Bondi brings a wealth of legal experience to the table, having practiced law in Florida for more than a decade. She started her career as a prosecutor in Tampa and later served as the state attorney general for eight years. Known for her media savvy and effective litigation skills, Bondi has established herself as a prominent figure in the legal field.
Having been elected as Florida's attorney general during the conservative tea party movement, Bondi's tenure in office saw her becoming increasingly partisan. She made frequent appearances on Fox News and emerged as a key supporter of Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign.
