Trump's AG Nominee Pam Bondi Declines to Comment on TikTok Ban at Senate Hearing, Amid Questions on Political Adversaries
Jan 15, 2025, 05:42 PM
Pam Bondi, nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to be the U.S. Attorney General, faced questions during her Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing about her stance on enforcing a potential ban on TikTok. Bondi declined to comment on whether she would enforce the law requiring TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to divest its U.S. assets by January 19, 2025, or face a ban, citing ongoing litigation before the Supreme Court. She stated that she would consult with Justice Department officials regarding the matter. Additionally, Bondi was pressed by Senator Richard Blumenthal and others on whether she would use her position to prosecute Trump's political adversaries, including special counsel Jack Smith, Liz Cheney, and Merrick Garland. She refused to answer hypotheticals, emphasizing that no one has been pre-judged and that she would not politicize the Justice Department if confirmed.
