Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, Pam Bondi, insisted at her Senate confirmation hearing that Trump was unfairly targeted by years of investigations.
Even with any assurances from Donald Trump, companies like Apple, Google, and Oracle would be taking a risk by not complying with the TikTok ban.
Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi is promising an end to political prosecutions from the Justice Department. “There will never be an enemies’ list within the Department of Justice,” Bondi said during a confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Trump allegedly tried to keep Mike Pence mentally isolated and said people would "hate his guts" if he certified Biden's 2020 win.
In an unsigned opinion, the Court sided with the national security concerns about TikTok rather than the First Amendment rights. There were no noted dissents.
Pam Bondi was pressed about the 2020 election and Trump's influence over the Justice Department, while Marco Rubio struck a more measured tone on the Russia-Ukraine war.
The Supreme Court upheld on Friday a law banning TikTok in the United States on national security grounds if its Chinese parent company ByteDance does not sell it, putting the popular short-video app on track to go dark in just two days.
Donald Trump’s attorney general nominee Pam Bondi vowed she would remove politics from the Department of Justice during the first day of her confirmation hearing, though her refusal to answer key questions about Trump’s 2020 election loss and his outspoken desire for retribution raised concerns about how she would execute her promise.
Trump faces fewer guardrails as he pursues a norm-shattering agenda that is already upending Washington and unsettling the world.
The Biden administration’s website devoted to reproductive and abortion rights quietly disappeared on Friday, three days before President-elect Donald J. Trump takes the oath office. A senior administration official said it was a protective move, so that the contents of the website would not be “lost to history” if the Trump team took it down.
