Attorney General Pam Bondi faced sharp questions from Democrats over mounting concerns that the Justice Department under her leadership is being weaponized to go after President Trump’s perceived political enemies.
During a more than four-hour hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday that often turned combative, Bondi defended her work at the helm of the Justice Department, rejecting allegations that its investigations and prosecutions — including the recent indictment of former FBI Director James Comey — are driven by politics.
“I took office with two main goals: to end the weaponization of justice and return the department to its core mission of fighting violent crime,” Bondi told lawmakers. “While there is more work to do, I believe in eight short months we have made tremendous progress towards those ends.”
Unease grows at the Justice Department as Trump’s threats get even more blunt
The Justice Department has undergone enormous change since Bondi took charge.
During her tenure, career prosecutors who worked Capitol riot cases or investigated Trump have been pushed out or fired, as have senior officials at the FBI. The section that investigates public corruption has been gutted, while the bureau’s premier public corruption unit has been disbanded.
And the department has opened investigations into some of Trump’s most vocal critics, and dropped prosecutions of his allies.
Lawmakers broke on party lines in their views on the direction the department has taken under the Trump administration. Democrats sought to zero in on the turmoil and the departure from department traditions and norms to highlight what they say is the dangerous direction Bondi is taking the DOJ.
“Our nation’s top law enforcement agency has become a shield for the president and his political allies when they engage in misconduct,” said Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, the committee’s top Democrat.
“In eight short months, you fundamentally transformed the Justice Department and left an enormous stain on American history. It will take decades to recover.”
Republicans, in contrast, argued that the department was in fact weaponized by the Biden administration against Trump and conservatives more broadly. And they said Bondi was cleaning up the mess they left behind.
“Focusing on crime and getting tough on criminals is a welcome change from four years of Biden administration soft-on-crime policies,” the panel’s top Republican, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley said.
He pointed to information he said he and other lawmakers have obtained that shows the FBI in 2023 analyzed phone data of more than a half dozen Republican lawmakers, including members of the Judiciary Committee, as part of the investigation into Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
“Can you tell me why my phone records were sought by the Jack Smith agents?” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said, referring to the special counsel who investigated Trump.
Grassley, meanwhile, called it an “outrage” and an “unconstitutional breach,” and called on Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel to address the matter. Several Republicans called for Bondi to appoint a special counsel to investigate.
Democrats press Bondi on Comey indictment
Democrats tried to press Bondi on their concerns that she’s turned the department into a tool in Trump’s promised campaign of vengeance on his perceived enemies.
Ex-FBI Director James Comey indicted on criminal charges stemming from 2020 testimony
They pointed to the decision to indict Comey less than two weeks ago following public demands from the president to do so.
Comey, who faces one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice stemming from congressional testimony in 2020, is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in federal court in Alexandria, Va.
The indictment — and the machinations that led to it — are the latest, and arguably most concerning, example of what many legal observers point to as the politicization and weaponization of the department under Bondi.

Today's #SenateJudiciaryCommittee hearing was (on paper) supposed to serve as #oversight of the current #JusticeDept. #Bondi the bleached blonde trailer-trash shouting over #senators with non sequiturs about "riots in LA" (1992) and "what about the fires" in response to #AdamSchiff questioning her dropping of the #TomHoman bribery investigation. America is literally dying.
What a fucking fiasco.
When Fox "news" doesn't even have your back and calls for your ousting, you're not long for this world. And FBI Director #KashPatel, sensing his days are numbered, was "triggered" at today's #SenateJudiciaryCommittee oversight hearing, as the Senate Dems come for #Patel!
