Trump Attorney General Nominee Pam Bondi Heads to Capitol Hill
Pam Bondi, a longtime loyalist to President-elect Donald Trump and his pick for attorney general, is headed to Capitol Hill next week to start meetings with key Republicans in Congress, paving the way for a smooth confirmation.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) announced Friday that he would meet with Bondi on Monday morning.
Grassley is poised to chair the Senate Judiciary Committee, which has long been tasked with evaluating and considering picks for attorney general. The Iowa Republican, 91, is also expected to become Senate president pro tempore, third in line to the presidency.
“Attorney General Nominee Bondi is looking forward to the confirmation process and answering any questions senators might have,” Trump transition spokesman Alex Pfeiffer told the Washington Examiner. “Attorney General Nominee Bondi’s life has been dedicated to keeping Americans safe. She looks forward to continuing that work at the Department of Justice.”
Trump nominated Bondi for attorney general last week after former Rep. Matt Gaetz withdrew his name from consideration. (Read more from “Trump Attorney General Nominee Pam Bondi Heads to Capitol Hill” HERE)
