Holds are common practice in the Senate Judiciary Committee,\u201d the notice said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cPursuant to this rule, the Minority will hold Bondi\u2019s nomination for seven days. As a result of this hold, which goes into effect tomorrow, the Committee will not meet in person for this week\u2019s executive business meeting,\u201d the advisory added.<\/p>\n<p>Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, testified before the Judiciary Committee in a confirmation hearing last month.<\/p>\n<p>If confirmed, I will fight everyday to restore confidence and integrity to the Department of Justice and each of its components,\u201d Bondi said. \u201cThe partisanship, the weaponization, will be gone. America will have one tier of justice for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bondi made waves when she clashed with some of the committee\u2019s Democrat members, including California Sen. Adam Schiff.<\/p>\n<p>During his questioning, Schiff tried to secure a commitment from Bondi that she would essentially oppose her boss, the president, on certain pardons that Trump has said he is looking to grant, including many Americans convicted of low-level crimes related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWill it be your advice to the President: \u2018No, Mr. President. I need to go over them on a case-by-case basis. Do not issue blanket pardons.\u2019 Will that be your advice to the President?\u201d Schiff pressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Republican-controlled U.S. Senate has voted to confirm Pam Bondi to serve as attorney general following her nomination to the role by President Donald Trump.
