“I don’t believe he has an enemies list. He made a quote on TV which I have not heard,” Bondi responded. “He has great experience in the intel department. I believe that Kash is the right person at this time for this job.”

“There will never be an enemies list within the Department of Justice,” she added.

During his opening statement, committee chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, lauded Bondi for her experience and her work combatting the opioid epidemic and human trafficking while she was Florida’s attorney general. He and the lawmakers who introduced Bondi — Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., and Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo. — meanwhile called on Bondi to restore trust in the Justice Department, citing weaponization under the Biden administration.

“The Justice Department is infected with political decision-making while its leaders refuse to recognize that reality,” Grassley said. “I know, as other people on this committee and in and out of Congress know, what government weaponization is.”

Bondi echoed the criticisms of the current Justice Department.

“I will fight everyday to restore confidence and integrity to the Department of Justice and each of its components,” she said. “Partisanship will be gone. America will have one tier of justice for all.”

Bondi, a private practice lawyer, was the attorney general of Florida from 2011 to 2019. She has also served as an adviser to Trump during his first impeachment trial in 2019.

Bondi has also parroted Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election results were fraudulent. Ranking Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois asked Bondi if she accepts that President Joe Biden‘s 2020 election victory was legitimate. She said she accepts the result but raised questions about election integrity. She did not provide a straight answer.

Bondi went on to say she did not listen to the audio recording of Trump’s phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. During this call, Trump asked Raffensperger to “find” the votes he needed to overturn the results of the election. Bondi claimed this is not what Trump was asking, despite saying she has not listened to the call in full.

Bondi did not directly say whether or not she would support Trump’s plan to pardon the Capitol rioters who have been charged or convicted for participating in the assault on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

“I have not seen any of those files,” she said. “If confirmed and asked to advise, I will look at each file. I condemn any violence on a law enforcement officer in this country.”

Trump originally meant to nominate former congressman Matt Gaetz but he withdrew his nomination in the face of allegations of sexual misconduct, including a sexual relationship with a minor.

The committee convened at 9:30 a.m. EST.

Bondi’s is one of two confirmation hearings slated for Wednesday. Trump’s nominee for secretary of state, Marco Rubio, will appear before the Senate Foreign Relations committee beginning at 10 a.m.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem was also scheduled for a confirmation hearing as she vies to be the director of homeland security. Her hearing was rescheduled for Friday.

On Tuesday, Trump’s secretary of defense choice, Pete Hegseth, faced the Senate Armed Forces Committee. Hegseth was grilled for sexist comments he has made, accusations of sexual assault and alcohol abuse.
