Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi said Wednesday she plans to end the politicization and lawfare in the Department of Justice if she is confirmed.
From Fox News:
Speaking to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Bondi highlighted her early dreams of becoming a prosecutor, a dream realized almost immediately after beginning law school.
“From the moment I interned at the State Attorney’s office in Tampa, Florida, all I wanted to do was be a prosecutor,” Bondi said, noting that she had four jury trials while still in law school.
“I lost most of them,” she laughed, “but had four jury trials and never wanted to do anything else. ”
Bondi also highlighted her work cracking down on the state’s opioid crisis, including the many “pill mills” operating in the Sunshine State in 2010 when she was elected as the state’s attorney general.
At the time, Florida was considered to be at the heart of the nation’s opioid crisis, and a hub for so-called drug tourism from out-of-state residents who traveled from across the country to purchase opioids in bulk.
“Lastly and most importantly, if confirmed, I will fight every day to restore confidence and integrity to the Department of Justice and each of its components,” Bondi said in her opening remarks. “The partisanship, the weaponization will be gone. America will have one tier of justice for all.”
Prior to the hearing, popular pro-Trump X account Trump War Room shared a Pam Bondi hype reel with the message “CONFIRM PAM BONDI!”
