Durbin expressed his critical concern regarding Bondi's independence from Trump, stating, "At issue is your ability to say no. More than any other cabinet official, the attorney general has to be prepared to put the Constitution first, and even tell the President of the United States, you're wrong." He highlighted that the attorney general's role is pivotal in maintaining constitutional integrity and independence from the executive branch.
When pressed about Trump's denial of the 2020 election results, Bondi affirmed, "President Biden is the President of the United States. He was duly sworn in, and he is the President of the United States. There was a peaceful transition of power." Her statements implied an acknowledgment of the election's outcome, but still left room for interpretation regarding Trump's position.
