Pam Bondi shifts Justice Department priorities under Trump

Pam Bondi has taken over as Attorney General under President Trump, replacing Matt Gaetz. While Bondi is seen as more professional, her leadership has led to significant changes in the Justice Department, including a purge of career lawyers and a shift in priorities toward immigration enforcement. Since her appointment, Bondi has publicly criticized the previous administration's policies and vowed to reshape the department. Critics argue that her actions reflect a politicization of the Justice Department, reminiscent of past administrations, particularly during Nixon's era. Bondi's approach includes dismissing prosecutors involved in investigations against Trump and prioritizing cases against sanctuary cities and drug cartels. This marks a dramatic shift in the department's focus and raises concerns about the independence of the Justice Department from political influence.
