During Pam Bondi’s confirmation hearing before the U.S. Senate in January, she vowed that, as President Trump’s attorney general pick, “The partisanship, the weaponization” of the Department of Justice “will be gone. America will have one tier of justice for all.”

Words that ring hollow 10 months later.

In his second term, Trump has used the federal government as his personal tool to exact revenge on opponents and enemies. Bondi, a former two-term Florida attorney general, has been his loyal soldier. Under Bondi, it seems, we can no longer we trust the DOJ to act “without prejudice or improper influence,” as the department’s mission statement says.

As the nation’s top law enforcement official, Bondi has done what Trump’s previous attorneys general eventually balked at: using the DOJ for partisan retribution. And she doesn’t appear to be trying to hide her intentions.

Bondi spent years auditioning for this role, starting as one of Trump’s early supporters. As Florida’s attorney general in 2013, she declined to investigate fraud allegations against Trump’s for-profit college. Coincidence or not, Trump’s family foundation had just given $25,000 to a political committee that supported her. She pushed baseless claims that the 2020 elections were stolen from him. She also worked for Ballard Partners, a lobbying firm with Florida roots and deep ties to Trump.

Her loyalty to the president appears to have helped her keep her job so far, even as his own supporters turned against her when the DOJ announced it found no evidence of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s rumored client list. That was after Bondi told Fox News in February that the list was “sitting on my desk right now to review.”

Trump’s first attorney general, Jeff Sessions, a former Republican senator and early supporter, irritated the president in his first term when he recused himself from the investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 elections. Sessions was forced to resign. Trump also had a falling out with Session’s successor, William Barr, after he contradicted Trump’s claim of widespread election fraud in 2020.

Where other Trump AGs reached a point where they had to push back on Trump’s worst instincts, Bondi, so far, has faithfully toed the line.

She fired several prosecutors, including two in Miami, who participated in criminal investigations involving the president, and the DOJ has charged his political enemies. A former senior immigration lawyer and whistleblower claims Bondi fired him because he wouldn’t lie in a high-profile immigration case.

Bondi fired another Miami assistant U.S. attorney in September who, before he was hired by the DOJ, had posted critical blog commentary about Trump during his first term. The firing nearly derailed a Medicare fraud case in which Will Rosenzweig was the lead prosecutor, the Herald reported. In Miami, the nation’s Medicare fraud capital, getting rid of lawyers who disagree with the president appears to take precedence over cracking down on crime.

Bondi also suspended two prosecutors last week who wrote in a sentencing memo that Trump supporters who invaded the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, were “a mob of rioters.” Two new prosecutors withdrew the memo and replaced it with one that did not mention the attack, Reuters reported.

All of this indicates that Trump and Bondi’s DOJ values political allegiance over upholding the law.

Another example: Virginia’s interim U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert resigned in September after news reports that Trump was planning to fire him because he did not find evidence to charge Trump foe New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud. As Siebert’s replacement, Trump nominated Lindsey Halligan, his former personal lawyer who had no experience as a prosecutor. Halligan secured a grand jury indictment on James in October and another one on former FBI Director James Comey, who’s also a Trump enemy. Prosecutors had previously determined in a memo there was no evidence to indict Comey.

Bondi has reaped the rewards of her alliance with Trump. That may serve her well in her political future and make her a hero in the view of many Floridians in this now red state. Bondi’s biggest job is to uphold the rule of law, but her actions so far indicate that allegiance to Trump is her priority.
