Durbin Statement On President-Elect Trump's Intent To Nominate Pam Bondi As Attorney General

Statement

Date: Nov. 22, 2024
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Judicial Branch Legislative Branch

Serious questions have been raised about Ms. Bondi’s conduct as Florida’s Attorney General and President-elect Trump’s personal attorney. The Trump transition team is moving forward with an Attorney General nominee without the customary FBI background check. After the controversial announcement and awkward withdrawal of Matt Gaetz, the Senate and the Senate Judiciary Committee should insist that President-elect Trump, like prior Presidents-elect of both parties, follow the rules.

The Committee must uphold its constitutional responsibility of advice and consent on this critical position.
