US Attorney General-designate Pam Bondi advanced past the Senate Judiciary Committee on a party-line basis, teeing her up for a full-chamber confirmation vote.

After more than a decade of defending Trump, Pam Bondi is now the president-elect's nominee to be the country's top prosecutor and reform the Department of Justice.

IF THESE WERE “NORMAL” TIMES, Pam Bondi almost certainly would not be confirmed as attorney general. But these are far from normal times, and with her leading the Department of Justice under a re-elected Donald Trump, the times are likely to get a whole lot less normal.
