my Senate testimony against Pam Bondi for Attorney General

Donald Trump's first pick to be our nation's next Attorney General — former Rep. Matt Gaetz — was so unpopular and unqualified that he withdrew from consideration.

Trump then nominated a MAGA loyalist named Pam Bondi to be Attorney General.

• The Attorney General, of course, runs the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).

• Bondi has been a lobbyist for 30 corporations and foreign governments.

• Her clients have included companies that are major contractors with or are facing enforcement actions from the DOJ.

• She signed on to be part of Trump's legal team during his first impeachment trial.

• And she has echoed Trump's false claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election.

On Thursday, I testified at a Senate hearing about Bondi's nomination and urged senators to reject her nomination.

Here's some of what I said in my testimony:

"If Pam Bondi's nomination as Attorney General proceeds, we fear she will instead be a driven loyalist to Donald Trump and take actions that reflect the needs of the entities she so recently represented. The Senate should refuse to confirm Pam Bondi to be Attorney General of the United States."

To the United States Senate:

Pam Bondi is a threat to the Department of Justice and to the rule of law. The Senate should reject her nomination to be Attorney General.
