Pam Bondi has taken office as the U.S. Attorney General, following her Senate confirmation in early 2025 after being nominated by President Donald Trump. During her January confirmation hearing, Bondi stated that “politics would not play a part” in her approach to the role, according to The New York Times.
During her January 2025 hearing, Pam highlighted her background as the former attorney general of Florida, saying, “In 2011, I was elected Attorney General of Florida and proudly served for two terms. In that role, my top priority was keeping Florida safe and standing up for victims and their families. When my term began, Florida was overwhelmed by pill mills and opioid deaths. I fought for tough legislation and worked to eliminate these drug dealers from our state. We also protected human trafficking victims by raising awareness, providing critical resources, and creating additional safe houses.”
She went on to emphasize that, if confirmed as the U.S. attorney general, she would “work to restore confidence and integrity to the Department of Justice – and each of its components. Under my watch, the partisan weaponization of the Department of Justice will end.” Pam continued, “America must have one tier of justice for all. In all this work, I would collaborate closely with this Committee and others in Congress, my colleagues throughout the federal government, and our partners in state and local law enforcement and around the world. I look forward to answering your questions today and working together in the years ahead.”
Now officially serving in Trump’s cabinet, many are curious not only about her policies but also about who might be supporting her behind the scenes. Pam was previously in a relationship with Greg Henderson, but has since been linked to real estate investor John Wakefield, leaving some to wonder about her current relationship status.
