The Senate has confirmed Pam Bondi as the new U.S. attorney general, with only one Democrat voting with Republicans for her confirmation. Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, is seen as a close ally of President Trump and is expected to oversee significant changes at the Justice Department. While Republicans praise her as a qualified leader who will bring necessary changes, Democrats have expressed concerns about her loyalty to the president and potential bias in her decision-making. Bondi’s confirmation comes at a time when the FBI is in turmoil over investigations related to Trump, with recent efforts to identify employees involved in Jan. 6 prosecutions sparking fears of mass firings. Bondi has vowed not to pursue political motives in her role as attorney general, but has echoed Trump’s claims of political persecution against him. She replaces former Rep. Matt Gaetz, whose nomination was withdrawn due to lack of support. Bondi’s confirmation marks a new chapter in the Justice Department, which has been at the center of political controversy under Trump’s administration.
