Trump attorney general pick Pam Bondi wins Senate committee approval on party-line vote

Trump attorney general pick Pam Bondi wins Senate committee approval on party-line vote (USA Today)

WASHINGTON – The Senate Judiciary Committee voted Wednesday in favor of President Donald Trump's pick for attorney general, Pam Bondi. The vote was divided along party lines, with 12 Republicans voting in favor, and 10 Democrats voting against.

The vote means Bondi's nomination will now be presented to the full Senate for a vote on her confirmation. If confirmed, Bondi will head the Justice Department and serve as the top law enforcement officer in the United States.

Bondi is a former Florida attorney general who served as a defense lawyer for Trump in his first presidential Senate impeachment trial, where he was acquitted – largely on party lines – of abusing power by withholding aid to Ukraine in order to pressure Ukraine's government to investigate then-Vice President Joe Biden.
