2 Minute Article Trump AG Pick Pam Bondi Clears Judiciary Committee

Pam Bondi, nominated by President Trump for U.S. Attorney General, has advanced past the Senate Judiciary Committee with a party-line vote of 12-10. Known for her strong stance against drug trafficking and violent crime as Florida's Attorney General, Bondi's nomination now heads to a full Senate vote. Her confirmation promises to prioritize non-partisan justice and combat drug-related crimes, drawing support from former Justice Department officials and state attorneys general. However, her potential tenure comes amidst political tensions and concerns over maintaining DOJ independence.
