The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee today advanced President Donald Trump’s attorney general nominee, Pam Bondi, paving the way for the full Senate to vote on confirming the former Florida attorney general as soon as this week. The panel approved her nomination in a 12-10 vote, Reuters reports. Bondi, who has spent decades as a prosecutor, previously represented Trump during his first impeachment trial. During her confirmation hearing earlier this month, she vowed to maintain the Justice Department’s independence, telling lawmakers she would not inject politics into criminal or civil investigations.
