A former colleague of Trump's attorney general pick, Pam Bondi, spoke of her integrity and her priority to uphold the U.S. Constitution following her congressional hearing.

Pam Bondi highlighted her desire to "get back to the basics, gangs, drugs, terrorists, cartels, our border, and our foreign adversaries" and praised the First Step Act, a sweeping criminal justice reform bill passed in Trump’s first term.

Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Justice Department, Pam Bondi, is set to face questions on Capitol Hill over her loyalty to the Republican president-elect, who has vowed to use the agency to pursue revenge on his perceived political enemies.
