Pam Bondi, a former Florida attorney general and corporate lobbyist, would be one of the most closely scrutinized members of Trump’s Cabinet if she’s confirmed to lead the department that prosecuted the once and future president in two separate criminal cases that never went to trial.

Donald Trump's pick to lead the Justice Department, Pam Bondi, faced questions on Capitol Hill Wednesday over her loyalty to the Republican president-elect, who has vowed to use the agency to pursue revenge on his perceived political enemies.

During one contentious exchange in her confirmation hearing, Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla of California asked Bondi whether she found any evidence of widespread fraud. The senator repeatedly pressed her for a yes or no answer but did not give Bondi an opportunity to expound on her time with the campaign.
