  • "Controversial Bondi: DOJ Allegedly Controlled by White House Aide"
    2025/05/15
    Attorney General Pam Bondi has been at the center of controversy in recent days, with allegations that she may be serving more as a figurehead while the Department of Justice is being run from the White House. According to a May 13, 2025 report by The Independent, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is allegedly setting the agenda for the department in conjunction with President Donald Trump.

    The report, which cited interviews with 20 current and former officials, suggests that Bondi views her role "as that of a surrogate, a faithful executor and high-volume messenger, compelled to cede ground to empowered players in the West Wing." Bondi, who has a reputation for strong TV performances, appears to have adopted what some describe as a "performative" approach to her role as the nation's chief legal officer.

    In other developments, Representatives Dave Min and Mike Levin led a letter to the Florida Bar Association on May 1, 2025, alerting them to potential misconduct by AG Bondi. The specifics of the alleged misconduct were not detailed in the available information.

    Since taking office on February 5, 2025, as the 87th Attorney General of the United States, Bondi has made several significant moves aligned with President Trump's agenda. She quickly issued directives committing the DOJ to "use all available criminal statutes to combat the flood of illegal immigration" and instructed department employees to vigorously defend presidential policies.

    In mid-February, Bondi sued the state of New York, including Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James, arguing that a state law allowing undocumented people to obtain driver's licenses is unconstitutional. During the announcement of this lawsuit, she warned other states not complying with federal law that "you're next, get ready," declaring, "This is a new DOJ."

    Bondi's professional background includes serving as Florida's Attorney General from 2011 to 2019, where she was known for her work combating the opioid crisis and human trafficking. Before her confirmation as U.S. Attorney General, she was associated with the America First Policy Institute, which has been linked to Project 2025.

    More recently, on February 27, 2025, Bondi, in conjunction with the FBI, declassified and publicly released files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. She also toured the Port of Tampa Bay in February, receiving briefings on national security and anti-human trafficking efforts.

    As a former prosecutor with 18 years of experience trying cases ranging from domestic violence to capital murder, Bondi made history as Florida's first female Attorney General before assuming her current national role.

  • "Lawmakers Raise Concerns over Newly Appointed Attorney General Pam Bondi's Controversial Actions"
    2025/05/13
    In a significant development from May 1, 2025, U.S. Representatives Dave Min and Mike Levin have taken action regarding Attorney General Pam Bondi. The lawmakers sent a formal letter to the Florida Bar Association alerting them to potential misconduct by the Attorney General.

    This comes just three months into Bondi's tenure as the 87th U.S. Attorney General, a position she assumed after being confirmed by the Senate in a 54-46 vote on February 4, 2025. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas administered her oath of office on February 5.

    Bondi's first day in office was marked by sweeping changes at the Department of Justice. She immediately shut down the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force and the DOJ's Task Force KleptoCapture, while also reducing enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Additionally, she ordered investigations into former Special Counsel Jack Smith and directed the Justice Department to prioritize assistance with President Trump's mass deportation plans.

    Other significant first-day actions included prohibiting DOJ lawyers from recusing themselves from actions they deemed unethical, reevaluating consent decrees to prevent "race- or sex-based preferences," ending the federal execution moratorium, and halting DOJ funding to sanctuary cities.

    Earlier this year, on February 17, 2025, Bondi toured the Port of Tampa Bay, Florida's largest port, where she received a briefing from CEO Paul Anderson. This visit was part of her national security and anti-human trafficking efforts, areas she focused on during her previous role as Florida's Attorney General from 2011 to 2019.

    Bondi's confirmation process in January was contentious, with the Legal Defense Fund releasing a comprehensive report on January 16 detailing what they described as her "troubling record on civil rights and voting rights." The report also questioned her ability to remain impartial given her previous role on Trump's legal team during his first impeachment trial.

    During her confirmation hearings, former Alachua County Sheriff Emery Gainey testified on Bondi's behalf. Gainey, who previously served as Bondi's Director of Law Enforcement during her tenure as Florida's Attorney General, described their relationship as "a very close professional, personal and family friendship."

    Meanwhile, Florida's current Attorney General, James Uthmeier, recently secured a twenty-year prison sentence for a fraudulent pool contractor on May 8, 2025, continuing the office's consumer protection work that Bondi had prioritized during her time in that position.

  • Newly Appointed Attorney General Pam Bondi Prioritizes Transparency, National Security, and Anti-Human Trafficking Efforts
    2025/05/11
    Attorney General Pam Bondi has been actively addressing several national priorities since her swearing-in on February 5, 2025. Just this week, on May 11, 2025, she continues implementing major initiatives that reflect the administration's focus on national security, human trafficking prevention, and governmental transparency.

    Most recently, on February 27, Bondi, in collaboration with the FBI, declassified and publicly released the first phase of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. This move signals her commitment to transparency in high-profile cases that have generated significant public interest.

    Earlier this month, Bondi toured the Port of Tampa Bay, Florida's largest port, where she received a comprehensive security briefing from the Port's CEO, Paul Anderson. The visit highlighted her focus on national security and anti-human trafficking efforts, continuing her longstanding commitment to combating human trafficking that began during her tenure as Florida's Attorney General from 2011 to 2019.

    In one of her first major actions after taking office, Bondi ordered a comprehensive review of federal prosecutions against former President Donald Trump. Hours after her White House swearing-in ceremony on February 5, she established a "weaponization working group" tasked with scrutinizing Special Counsel Jack Smith's work and reviewing prosecutions related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

    The Attorney General's background includes serving as Florida's first female Attorney General for two consecutive terms. During that time, she took significant steps to address the opioid crisis and strengthen Florida's human trafficking laws. Her experience includes more than 18 years as a prosecutor, handling cases ranging from domestic violence to capital murder.

    Bondi's Justice Department is also facing scrutiny regarding potential enforcement of the Comstock Act, a 19th-century law that could restrict access to abortion medication. As Florida's Attorney General, Bondi supported restrictions on abortion and contraception, raising questions about how she might approach these issues at the federal level.

    Critics have expressed concerns about Bondi's close ties to former President Trump and her previous role on his defense team during impeachment proceedings in 2019. Her appointment comes after Trump's first choice for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz, withdrew from consideration.

    As Bondi continues to shape her tenure as the 87th Attorney General, her early actions suggest a focus on reviewing previous Justice Department decisions while advancing initiatives related to human trafficking, governmental transparency, and national security.
