Adam Schiff (D-CA), highlighting his prior congressional censure. Schiff\u2019s questions, focused on hypothetical cases and the handling of presidential pardons, became increasingly tense as the hearing progressed.<\/p>\n<p>Schiff pressed Bondi on whether she would advise the President against issuing blanket pardons. \u201cWill it be your advice to the President: \u2018No, Mr. President. I need to review them case-by-case\u2019?\u201d he asked. Bondi responded, \u201cSenator, I have not reviewed any of those files. If confirmed, I will thoroughly evaluate the files related to pardons and ongoing investigations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The tension grew as Schiff questioned Bondi\u2019s ability to manage the workload. \u201cAnd will you be able to review hundreds of cases on day one?\u201d he challenged. Bondi firmly replied, \u201cI will review every file I\u2019m tasked with. I\u2019m not going to mislead this body\u2014or you.\u201d The exchange took a sharp turn when Bondi referenced Schiff\u2019s censure, stating, \u201cYou were censured by Congress for comments like this\u2014so reckless!\u201d The pointed remark visibly struck a nerve.<\/p>\n<p>The confrontation intensified when Schiff shifted focus to allegations involving former Rep. Liz Cheney. Cheney faces claims of witness tampering related to her work on the January 6 Committee. A GOP-led subcommittee alleged she secretly communicated with witness Cassidy Hutchinson using encrypted apps, bypassing her attorney. The panel has recommended an FBI investigation, though Cheney denies the accusations, labeling them politically motivated and aimed at protecting Donald Trump. The FBI has not confirmed if it will pursue the case.<\/p>\n<p>Schiff pressed Bondi further, asking, \u201cAre you aware of any factual basis to investigate Liz Cheney?\u201d Bondi countered, \u201cSenator, no one has asked me to investigate Liz Cheney. That is a hypothetical.\u201d She then shifted the focus to California\u2019s crime rate, adding, \u201cThe crime rate in California is through the roof. Robberies are 87% higher than the national average. That\u2019s where I want to focus if confirmed as Attorney General.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bondi\u2019s assertive responses and refusal to be cornered by Schiff\u2019s line of questioning earned praise from Republican senators in attendance. The hearing highlighted Bondi\u2019s combative approach and her willingness to challenge Democratic critics directly\u2014qualities her supporters argue are crucial for the role of Attorney General.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What started as a routine confirmation hearing quickly turned into a fiery exchange when Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi clashed with Sen.
