Grassley ‘Leaning’ Toward Confirming Trump’s AG Nominee

Washington DC — Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley will chair two days of hearings starting tomorrow (Wednesday) as President-elect Trump’s nominee for attorney general Pam Bondi appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Grassley says he’s “leaning towards” voting to confirm Bondi for the post, but wants to first hear her public responses to questions about how she’d run things.

Grassley met with Bondi recently in his office and notes, he’s been “dissatisfied” for the past four years with his requests to the DOJ going largely ignored under the current administration.

Bondi served as Florida’s attorney general from 2011 to 2019, the first woman elected to the office, and in 2020, she was one of Trump’s defense lawyers during his first impeachment trial.
