Trump's attorney general pick to face scrutiny on first day of Senate hearing
Briefly

During her confirmation hearing, Pam Bondi is expected to face scrutiny regarding her ability to maintain the justice department's independence from potential political influence asserted by the White House.
Trump's longstanding contention against the justice department has intensified, especially after he faced indictments, raising questions on the department’s ability to operate free from political pressure.
Bondi’s unwavering loyalty to Trump, emphasized by her involvement in earlier controversies like the impeachment trial, raises concerns about her suitability as attorney general for upholding justice department independence.
As the first female Florida attorney general and a lobbyist, Bondi is under scrutiny not just for her past support of Trump but also for her prosecutorial record.
