Trump AG pick Pam Bondi clears Judiciary Committee, will get confirmation vote in Senate
Fox News
Pam Bondi, President Donald Trump's choice to head up the Justice Department, will get a vote on the Senate floor after the Judiciary Committee voted favorably on her nomination.
Bondi, the former Florida attorney general, made a name for herself in Florida by cracking down on drug trafficking, violent crime and the many "pill mills" operating in the state. She also spent 18 years as a prosecutor for the Hillsborough County state attorney's office, giving her the experience that many believe she will need to serve as the top U.S. attorney. Breanne Deppisch is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering the 2024 election and other national news.
Bondi was expected to see a glide path to confirmation ahead of Wednesday’s vote. Her nomination to be President Donald Trump's attorney general also earned the praise of more than 110 former senior Justice Department officials, including former attorneys general, and dozens of Democratic and Republican state attorneys general, who praised her experience and work across party and state lines.
