President-elect Donald Trump's pick for attorney general, Pam Bondi, vowed to remain independent and nonpartisan during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday. Bondi did not distance herself from disproven claims about the 2020 election or rebuke the rhetoric of some of her fellow Cabinet nominees,

Pam Bondi highlighted her desire to "get back to the basics, gangs, drugs, terrorists, cartels, our border, and our foreign adversaries" and praised the First Step Act, a sweeping criminal justice reform bill passed in Trump’s first term.
