Senator Blumenthal questions Attorney General Bondi on the Trump Administration's target of political opponents via the Justice Department.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal questioned Attorney General Pam Bondi during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing regarding the Trump Administration's alleged politically motivated prosecutions. He highlighted comments made by Trump calling for investigations into political opponents, emphasizing that "no individual...should be targeted simply because they are a political opponent."
Blumenthal expressed concerns about the "weaponization of justice," specifically referencing former FBI Director James Comey's indictment, and criticized the DOJ's actions under Trump. He urged support for his legislation aimed at preventing political prosecutions, which would create legal protections against selective prosecution.
Despite Blumenthal's inquiries about possible discussions between Bondi and Trump regarding Comey's indictment, Bondi declined to confirm or discuss such conversations. Blumenthal urged Bondi to support reforms that ensure neutrality in prosecutorial decisions, asserting, "the American public is entitled to know...whether you took instructions from President Trump."
