Pam Bondi Issues Flurry of Orders

February 5, 2025 · 7:57 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Pam Bondi is officially in control of the Justice Department — and she’s gone right to work,” Politico reports.

“President Donald Trump’s attorney general issued a flurry of orders Wednesday just after she was sworn in, releasing 14 ‘first-day’ directives.”

“Among them, Bondi ordered the department to set up a task force to examine the ‘weaponization’ of the Justice Department and rein in investigations into foreign influence. She also warned career lawyers at her agency not to try to thwart Trump administration policies.”
