The former Trump defense lawyer and Florida attorney general issues a raft of new orders, undoing a broad array of Biden administration policies

Bondi was confirmed by a vote of 54-46, and will now take the reins at the Justice Department at a moment when it is facing questions about the risk of political influence at the department.

The Senate has confirmed Pam Bondi as U.S. attorney general. Her confirmation puts a longtime ally of Donald Trump at the helm of a Justice Department that has already been rattled by the firings of career employees seen as disloyal to the Republican president.

New Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday ordered a review of the federal prosecution of Donald Trump as she unveiled a series of directives designed to overhaul a Justice Department the president claims is biased against conservatives.

On her first day as attorney general, Bondi issued orders to review Trump prosecutions and create a "weaponization" of government working group.

Hours after being sworn in, Bondi called for the formation of a "weaponization working group" to review the work of Jack Smith.

Newly installed Attorney General Pam Bondi has established a "Weaponization Working Group" to review the "politicized" actions of those who investigated President Trump.

The Republican-led U.S. Senate confirmed Pam Bondi as the new U.S. attorney general on Tuesday, propelling one of President Donald Trump's staunchest political allies to the top perch of American law enforcement.
