Bondi’s Mission: Ending Justice Department Weaponization
Pam Bondi was sworn in as the 87th U.S. Attorney General on February 5, 2025, following her Senate confirmation with a 54-46 vote. The ceremony took place in the Oval Office, with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas administering the oath and President Donald Trump in attendance.
In her inaugural address, Bondi emphasized her commitment to ending the perceived “weaponization” of the Department of Justice. She stated, “We’re going to restore integrity and ensure that justice is administered fairly, without political bias.”
On her first day, Bondi ordered a comprehensive review of ongoing investigations involving former President Trump and his associates, signaling a potential shift in the department’s approach to these cases.
Additionally, Bondi directed the DOJ to halt all funding to sanctuary jurisdictions—cities or states that do not cooperate with federal immigration authorities. This move aligns with the administration’s efforts to enforce stricter immigration controls.
Bondi’s appointment has been met with both support and criticism. Supporters praise her dedication to law and order, while critics express concerns over her close ties to President Trump and potential conflicts of interest stemming from her previous lobbying activities.
