US EditionBondi Clashes with Democrats over Claims She Weaponized the DOJ
Attorney General Pam Bondi repeatedly refused to answer Democrats' questions on politicizing the Justice Department amid investigations into Trump critics, fueling bipartisan tensions.
- On Tuesday, Attorney General Pamela Bondi repeatedly declined to answer Democratic senators' questions during her first Senate oversight hearing since last January in Washington, D.C.
- Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee used the hearing to warn of politicization after former FBI Director James Comey's indictment and accused Bondi of eroding the Justice Department's credibility by firing career prosecutors.
- During exchanges, Bondi snapped at senators, shifted topics to Chicago's murder rate, and refused to discuss a bribery probe into border czar Tom Homan, citing no credible evidence.
- The committee left with fewer answers and a louder fight over accountability, while Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., urged bipartisan reforms and Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., warned January 20th, 2025 developments would shock even Watergate-era standards.
- The broader picture shows Bondi's Justice Department opened criminal probes into Adam Schiff, Letitia James and Andrew Cuomo, while the FBI analyzed phone records of several Republican lawmakers.
