Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, whom President-elect Donald Trump has tapped to become the next U.S. attorney general, is keeping her cards close to her vest.
Bondi did not respond to a reporter on Capitol Hill when asked whether prosecutions of January 6 protesters will continue if she is confirmed by the Senate next year.
“Trump Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi declines to answer whether any January 6th prosecutions will continue under her,” Florida’s Voice correspondent Eric Daugherty wrote on his X account Monday evening. He added: “To be clear, this is angering Democrats because they want her to say ‘yes.’”
Bondi, meanwhile, is on Capitol Hill this week meeting with senators ahead of her confirmation hearings, Politico reported.
