Attorney General Pam Bondi, in some of her first moves on the job, is shifting the Justice Department’s national security priorities away from initiatives that have been a source of irritation for President Donald Trump and his allies.

On her first day as attorney general, Bondi issued orders to review Trump prosecutions and create a "weaponization" of government working group.

Bondi was confirmed by a vote of 54-46, and will now take the reins at the Justice Department at a moment when it is facing questions about the risk of political influence at the department.

Attorney General Pam Bondi is expected to order a review of the cases brought against President Donald Trump, including those undertaken by prosecutors in New York who successfully defeated him in court.

Although the department historically has insisted on remaining independent of the White House, Bondi made clear that she was working to overhaul a DOJ that Trump has insisted is both biased against him and against political conservatives in general.

New Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday ordered a review of the federal prosecution of Donald Trump as she unveiled a series of directives designed to overhaul a Justice Department the president claims is biased against conservatives.

Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday as attorney general, taking charge of the Justice Department as it braces for upheaval with President Donald Trump aiming to exert his will over an agency that has long provoked his ire.

Pam Bondi had all kinds of first-day moves, but the creation of the Justice Department's “Weaponization Working Group” was the most ridiculous.
