Critics warn DOJ is being politicized despite vows to end its purported weaponization
Briefly

Pam Bondi's confirmation hearing as attorney general emphasized her commitment to fighting violent crime and rebuilding trust in the Justice Department. However, critics suggest that rather than eliminating politicization, she is reinforcing it, claiming the department is being used for Trump’s personal interests. Supporters assert that Bondi is reversing the previous administration's alleged weaponization, asserting a focus on restoring the rule of law. This dichotomy illustrates the contentious political climate surrounding the Justice Department’s direction under her leadership.
At her confirmation hearing in January to become attorney general, Pam Bondi vowed to fight violent crime and restore confidence and integrity to the Justice Department.
