Pam Bondi Clashes With Democrats at Heated House Hearing

  • U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi testified before the House Appropriations Committee on June 23, 2025, in Washington, D.C., regarding the DOJ's proposed fiscal year 2026 budget.
  • The hearing followed President Trump's request to cut the DOJ budget by $2.5 billion, including a 26% reduction to ATF and a 4.4% cut to the DEA, amid plans to merge the two agencies.
  • Bondi faced sharp exchanges with Democrats, especially Rep. Rosa DeLauro, who challenged cuts to the ATF and accused the administration of undermining efforts against gun and drug trafficking.
  • Bondi asserted that ATF agents would not conduct late-night visits to question lawful gun owners about their firearms, and she defended the ethics of her April sale of $1-5 million in Trump Media stock, emphasizing that she actually experienced significant financial losses from the transaction.
  • The disputed budget cuts and agency merger raise concerns about reduced capacity for law enforcement, regulatory inspections, and national security, suggesting potential risks to public safety and border threat monitoring.
