Donald Trump's choice for attorney general, Pam Bondi, vowed to end "the partisan weaponization" of the U.S. justice system if confirmed, echoing the president-elect's assertion that the prosecutions he faced were politically motivated.

Pam Bondi, President-elect Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Justice, echoed attacks on the agency she would lead if confirmed, but demurred on how she might handle tests of its independence.

The union endorsed Bondi and encouraged a quick confirmation hearing so the incoming attorney general could start her work as quickly as possible.
