Attorney General Pam Bondi battled with Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee on Oct. 7, refusing to answer their questions and launching personal attacks against some of them when they accused her of stonewalling.
She was received very differently by Republicans, who praised Bondi throughout the marathon hearing, saying she’s made good on her – and President Donald Trump’s – pledges to rid the Justice Department of partisan politics, cut crime and help deport immigrants in the country illegally.
"I took office with two main goals; to end the weaponization of justice and return the department to its core mission of fighting violent crime," Bondi said. "While there is more work to do, I believe in eight short months, we have made tremendous progress towards those ends."
