Bondi Pushed to Declare Independence From Trump

“Pam Bondi, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, refused to explicitly say she would defy White House pressure — or admit that Mr. Trump lost the 2020 election — and instead offered a promise that ‘politics will not play a part’ in her work at her confirmation hearing,” the New York Times reports.

“Ms. Bondi was polished and self-assured in the face of sharp questioning by Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee during the hearing’s morning session. She sought to project the image of an independent, crime-fighting prosecutor, while repeatedly expressing loyalty to Mr. Trump and her belief that he had been the victim of politically-motivated prosecution by the Biden administration.”
