Friend,
If there’s one thing President-elect Trump’s nominees have consistently
shown, it’s their skill at dodging direct questions about their
qualifications, past actions, and willingness to push Trump’s far-right
agenda.
This morning, Trump’s nominee for Attorney General, Pam Bondi, faced sharp
questioning from the Senate Judiciary Committee, where her record and
loyalty to Trump’s unconstitutional agenda came under scrutiny. While
Republicans praised her, Senate Democrats pressed Bondi on critical issues
– and her responses were nothing short of alarming.

Trump’s extreme picks. Your donation fuels critical advocacy efforts,

senators to vote no. Donate now to make your voice heard. >>
Here are just some of the shocking answers (and non-answers) Bondi gave
during the hearing:
* When questioned by Senator Durbin regarding the outcome of the 2020
election, Bondi REFUSED to state that Trump lost.
* Bondi also claimed there was a “peaceful transfer of power” after the
2020 election (apparently a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol
where Capitol Police officers were attacked and members of Congress
were forced to hide for their lives qualifies as “peaceful” to Bondi).
* When questioned whether she would investigate special counsel Jack
Smith regarding his investigation into Trump’s efforts to overturn the
2020 election and his mishandling of classified documents, Bondi
deflected by stating “she hasn’t seen the file [regarding Smith’s
investigation].”
* When asked by Senator Padilla whether Bondi would uphold birthright
citizenship – a fundamental right enshrined in the 14th Amendment of
the Constitution – she declined to answer, stating she “would have to
study it.”
* Bondi refused to say that she would recuse herself from investigations
that could arise that would present a conflict of interest, only
saying she would “consult” with DOJ ethics professionals.
* And more!
These responses – and Bondi’s already troubling record – underscore the
urgent need to defeat her nomination, and those of all of Trump’s extreme
and unqualified nominees.
Your support is vital in this fight. Every contribution strengthens our
ability to shine a light on Trump’s dangerous nominees and mobilize

This is about more than one nominee – it’s about protecting the principles
we believe in: accountability, fairness, and the rule of law. Together, we
can stand up for what’s right and stop Trump’s dangerous agenda.
