Legislators of the Senate Committee of the Justice tuned In the party, 12-10, send Bondi’s nomination to the full Senate. A final voice for the US general Prosecutor for President Donald Trump is not yet planned.
The chairman of the committee, Chuck Grassley from Iowa, spoke before the vote to tackle “some of the attacks against Ms. Bondi”, including her answers to questions from the democratic committee in which she was asked to affirm that Trump 2020 has lost.
“Several members of this committee have called Ms. Bondi as the election denier. This is not in contradiction to her own statements, since Ms. Bondi said several times during her hearing that bidges were the president and that she, unquoted, “accepted the results,” said Grassley.
Grassley has also beaten the criticism of the Democrats that Bondis is “somehow disqualifying” loyalty to Trump.
“The President has the right to choose a Attorney General who is loyal and will faithfully carry out the vision for America to which this president was operated,” said Grassley.
The Supreme Democrat of the Committee, Dick Durbin from Illinois, said Trump’s latest Ministry of Justice Shots Only boost concerns.
“As I said in Ms. Bondi’s hearing, it is absolutely important that every candidate for the position is primarily committed to the constitution and the American people, not the president and his political agenda. Unfortunately, I am not convinced that Ms. Bondi shares my faith, ”said Durbin.

Trump retribution
During their hearing, the Democrats also urged Bondi to refuse to issue a request from Trump to issue political retaliation against his political enemies.
