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.

President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Justice and Treasury Secretary nominee Scott Bessent will sit for Senate confirmation hearings Thursday morning.

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.
