She’s been in Trump’s circle for years, defending him on various news shows. Just last year, she was in New York supporting him during his hush money trial. After he was convicted, she claimed that trust in the justice system was lost.
Bondi made history as Florida’s first female attorney general, winning her election in 2010. She took on big issues like the opioid crisis and even fought against same-sex marriage. But she’s also faced some controversy, like when she accepted a donation from Trump while her office was considering a lawsuit against him.
After her time as attorney general, she worked as a lobbyist for big companies like Amazon and Uber. Democrats are likely to question her about potential conflicts of interest from that work.
In 2020, she stepped away from lobbying to help defend Trump during his first impeachment trial. She was part of the team that tried to push back against the allegations he faced.
Bondi also supported Trump’s claims about the 2020 election being rigged, making headlines when she claimed there was evidence of cheating in Pennsylvania. However, there’s been no proof of widespread voter fraud that would have changed the election results.
So, as she gears up for her confirmation hearing, all eyes will be on her to see how she handles the tough questions coming her way.
