I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley. It's Wednesday, January 15th, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update.
President-elect Trump's nominee for Attorney General, Pam Bondi, faced the Senate Judiciary Committee today in her confirmation hearing. Daily Wire Deputy Managing Editor Tim Rice reports.
The former Sunshine State AG pledged to restore integrity while addressing concerns over potential politicization. While Bondi's nomination has gained bipartisan support, there were still some moments of contention during today's hearing. In one particular exchange, Bondi flipped the script on Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who asked about potential weaponization of the DOJ.
White House asked Bondi's thoughts on looking for a crime after picking a name to target, which Democrats fear will happen with Trump against his political opponents. Here's how Bondi responded.
Senator, I think that is the whole problem with the weaponization that we have seen the last four years and what's been happening to Donald Trump. They targeted Donald Trump. They went after him, actually starting back in 2016. They targeted his campaign. They have launched countless investigations against him. That will not be the case if I am attorney general. I will not politicize that office.
I will not target people simply because of their political affiliation.
