Pam Bondi, nominated by President Trump as Attorney General, has stated that she will advise on potential pardons for individuals involved in the January 6 riot on a 'case-by-case' basis if asked by the President. During her confirmation hearing, Senator Dick Durbin questioned whether those convicted of violent assaults against police officers should be pardoned. Bondi responded that she would review each case individually if confirmed and asked to do so, while also condemning any violence against law enforcement officers.
