Bondi Dodges Questions as She Clashes with Democrats over Claims She’s Weaponized U.S. Justice Department

Attorney General Pam Bondi repeatedly deflected questions and launched personal attacks during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing amid accusations of politicizing the Justice Department.

  • Attorney General Pam Bondi repeatedly deflected questions during a combative Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday, while Adam Schiff read aloud a list of questions she ignored.
  • Amid concerns that the DOJ has become politicized under President Donald Trump, Democrats used the hearing to warn over prosecutions targeting Trump foes, including James Comey, former FBI Director.
  • In a heated exchange, Bondi told Schiff `You know, Schiff, if you worked for me, you would've been FIRED, because you were censured by Congress for LYING!` and refused to discuss a 2024 video about Tom Homan accepting $50,000.
  • More than 275 former Justice Department employees demanded Congress increase oversight, while Democrats said Bondi eroded credibility and Republicans defended her leadership.
  • Ballard Partners registered in March 2025 to lobby for American Express Global Business Travel, paid $200,000 to lobby Bondi's DOJ, which she `personally signed` a $400 million Qatar jet memo and dismissed a $540 million merger challenge.
