The former Florida attorney general is expected to oversee a radical reshaping of the Justice Department that has already been rattled by the firings of career employees seen as disloyal to the Republican President.
Former Florida attorney general Pam Bondi is sworn in during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on her nomination to be U.S. Attorney General, on Capitol Hill, in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 15, 2025.February 4, 2025 9:30 PM EST
Bondi, a former Florida attorney general and corporate lobbyist, is expected to oversee a radical reshaping of the department that has been the target of Trump’s ire over the criminal cases it brought against him. She enters with the FBI, which she will oversee, in turmoil over the scrutiny of agents involved in investigations related to the President, who has made clear his desire to seek revenge on his perceived adversaries.
While Bondi has sought to reassure Democrats that politics would play no part in her decision-making, she also refused at her confirmation hearing last month to rule potential investigations into Trump’s adversaries. And she has repeated Trump’s claims that the prosecutions against him amounted to political persecution, saying the Justice Department “had been weaponized for years and years and years, and it’s got to stop.
Bondi’s confirmation vote came just hours after FBI agents sued the Justice Department over efforts to develop a list of employees involved in the Jan. 6 prosecutions, which agents fear could be a precursor to mass firings.
