Attorney General Pam Bondi is set to issue directives to target the previously weaponized Department of Justice, enforce criminal laws, and support presidential policies.
The U.S. Senate has confirmed Pam Bondi, former Florida Attorney General, as the nation's Attorney General in a 54-46 vote. Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was the sole Democrat to support her confirmation.
Attorneys General from 20 states are calling on the U.S. Senate to quickly confirm three nominees proposed by President-elect Donald Trump for key national security positions. The nominees include Governor Kristi Noem (R-SD) for Secretary of Homeland Security, Pam Bondi for Attorney General, and Kash Patel for FBI Director. The officials emphasize the urgency of assembling a strong national security team given current challenges.
