WATCH: Pam Bondi Sworn In as New U.S. Attorney General Under President Trump
WASHINGTON D.C. – Pam Bondi was officially sworn in as the U.S. attorney general on Wednesday at the Justice Department. As the nation’s newly appointed top prosecutor, Bondi faces a challenging start, with her early days likely to be consumed by a surge of reassignments, lawsuits, and resignations from senior law enforcement officials.
Despite these pressures, she has expressed a commitment to maintaining stability and fairness within the department.
The swearing-in ceremony took place in the Oval Office, where Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas administered the oath of office. Bondi was joined by friends, family, and other supporters who witnessed the historic moment.
Following the ceremony, President Donald Trump praised Bondi, calling her “unbelievably fair and unbelievably good.” He expressed confidence in her ability to lead the Justice Department and ensure justice is delivered in an unbiased manner.
“I know I’m supposed to say she’ll be totally impartial with respect to Democrats,” Trump remarked to reporters, “and I think she’ll be as impartial as anyone can be.” Bondi’s nomination received bipartisan praise for her calm demeanor and skillful handling of complex, politically sensitive matters, which helped her secure confirmation in the Republican-controlled chamber.
Her candidacy also garnered support from over 110 former senior Justice Department officials, including past attorneys general and numerous state attorneys general from both political parties. They highlighted her extensive experience and her ability to collaborate effectively across party and state lines.
However, Bondi takes office during a particularly volatile period for the Justice Department.
Just hours before her swearing-in, two groups of FBI agents filed separate lawsuits on Tuesday, aiming to block the public disclosure of employees involved in the January 6 investigations.
This followed a directive from Acting U.S. Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, who requested detailed information from thousands of agents and their supervisors regarding their involvement in the expansive probe into the events of that day.
