The former Florida attorney general came into office last year pledging that she would not play politics with the Justice Department.
Bondi rejected accusations that she politicized the Justice Department and said her mission was to restore the institution’s credibility after overreach by President Joe Biden’s Democratic administration with two federal criminal cases against Trump. Bondi’s defenders have said she worked to refocus the department to better tackle illegal immigration and violent crime and brought much-needed change to an agency they believe unfairly targeted conservatives.
Bondi’s public embrace of the president, however, marked a sharp departure from her predecessors, who generally took pains to maintain an arm’s-length distance from the White House to protect the impartiality of investigations and prosecutions. Bondi postured herself as Trump’s chief supporter and protector, praising and defending him in congressional hearings and placing a banner with his face on the exterior of Justice Department headquarters.
Occupy Democrats - O Pam Bondi's humiliation grows as it's revealed that she begged Trump not to fire her as Attorney General — but he did it anyway and threw her under the bus… According to new reporting from The Daily Mail, Bondi "begged" for Trump to let her keep her job during an "explosive showdown" at the White House. He informed her of her firing shortly before his Iran War speech yesterday. Upon hearing the news, she began "pleading" for mercy but Trump "remained firm."
