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.
