Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senator Alex Padilla criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi during a Senate Judiciary Committee oversight hearing, accusing her of politicizing the Department of Justice (DOJ). He claimed her actions prioritize loyalty to President Trump over the rule of law, which he believes undermines public trust and safety.
Padilla alleged that Bondi has pressured prosecutors to alter case outcomes and divert resources away from areas like organized crime and civil rights. Moreover, he expressed concern over the establishment of a "Weaponization Working Group," suggesting it threatens judicial independence.
Despite Padilla's inquiries on specific investigations, including those involving former ICE director Tom Homan, Bondi allegedly avoided answering questions, raising further doubts about the integrity of the DOJ under her leadership. For further details, a video of the hearing is available online.
