During today's senate hearing, Democratic senators repeatedly accused Bondi of stonewalling their inquiries and weaponizing the Department of Justice to benefit Trump.

Bondi declined to comment directly on several areas of interest to Democrats, including any potential discussions she had with the White House about investigations involving President Trump's political adversaries, such as former FBI Director James Comey. The effort to bring charges against Comey prompted upheaval in the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Virginia, leading Mr. Trump to appoint a White House aide to head the office. Bondi also deflected several inquiries into her handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in federal custody in 2019. Earlier this year, the Justice Department said it would not release further information about the case, angering allies and leading to congressional efforts to secure the files from the administration.
