Another day, another Democratic embarrassment during confirmation hearings. This time, it was the Senate Judiciary Committee and the nominee was attorney general hopeful Pam Bondi, former attorney general of Florida.
Democratic senators plan to question President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general about her history as a lobbyist and the potential conflicts of interest, a clear display of how the party’s early attacks on Trump 2.0 are focused on corporate influence over the new administration.
Kathleen Parker watched the confirmation hearing for our possible (okay, probable) next attorney general, and thought Pam Bondi gave all sorts of nice, “reassuring” answers that were “crisp and succinct.”
From the hearing's outset, Democratic senators' questions reflected valid and critical concerns but often in a poorly-framed manner.
Pam Bondi, Donald Trump's choice for attorney general, survived an at times contentious hearing while declining to say if Joe Biden won the 2020 vote.
