WASHINGTON, D.C.– Justice Department nominee Pam Bondi faced rigorous questioning from senators on Wednesday during her confirmation hearing.

The discussion centered on her ability to ensure the DOJ’s independence from executive influence, particularly amid concerns over former President Donald Trump’s potential sway.

Democratic senators expressed apprehension about the possibility of the DOJ being used to target political opponents or further personal agendas.

Bondi, a former Florida Attorney General, sought to reassure the committee of her commitment to impartiality. “Independence is the bedrock of our democracy,” Bondi stated.

“My decisions will be guided by the law and the law alone.”

Bondi’s ties to Trump, including her role as a surrogate during his 2020 presidential campaign, drew particular scrutiny. Some senators questioned whether her affiliations might compromise her objectivity.

In response, Bondi highlighted her record of independent decision-making in Florida, citing cases where she acted without partisan bias.

Throughout the hearing, Bondi addressed questions on voting rights, civil liberties, and how she would prevent political interference in DOJ operations.

She proposed implementing protocols to address real or perceived biases, emphasizing her respect for the department’s norms and commitment to transparency.

Republican senators praised Bondi’s legal expertise and public service, arguing that her experience demonstrated her ability to lead with fairness.

They described her as principled and capable of maintaining the DOJ’s integrity.

However, some Democratic senators remained skeptical, pointing to Bondi’s past decisions and statements. They stressed the need for explicit measures to safeguard the department’s independence and avoid politically motivated prosecutions.

Bondi acknowledged the importance of restoring public trust in the DOJ and vowed to collaborate across party lines to strengthen its credibility.

She underscored her dedication to upholding the Constitution and ensuring the department remains insulated from external pressures.
