TAPPER Attorney general nominee ░░░░░░░░ Bondi will testify before ░░░░░░░░ committee later this week ░░░░░░░░ have said she has ░░░░░░░░ support and she will ░░░░░░░░ restore the Department of ░░░░░░░░ to become one driven ░░░░░░░░ blind justice not blind ░░░░░░░░ politics We should note ░░░░░░░░ a member of Trump ░░░░░░░░ legal team in 2020 ░░░░░░░░ falsely claimed that Trump ░░░░░░░░ won Pennsylvania which he ░░░░░░░░ not She spread baseless ░░░░░░░░ about widespread cheating by ░░░░░░░░ about fake ballots That ░░░░░░░░ partisan politics What she ░░░░░░░░ in 2020 that is ░░░░░░░░ justice BRITT Yeah Jake ░░░░░░░░ mean look at what ░░░░░░░░ happened under the Biden ░░░░░░░░ We have people in ░░░░░░░░ offices who have chosen ░░░░░░░░ go after American citizens ░░░░░░░░ have chosen to weaponize ░░░░░░░░ justice system in a ░░░░░░░░ of ways When I ░░░░░░░░ with Pam Bondi she ░░░░░░░░ to me to getting ░░░░░░░░ to doing the job ░░░░░░░░ the people to getting ░░░░░░░░ to doing what the ░░░░░░░░ was created to do ░░░░░░░░ whether we re talking ░░░░░░░░ the A G whether ░░░░░░░░ re talking about the ░░░░░░░░ whether they re talking ░░░░░░░░ the Department of Defense ░░░░░░░░ want these agencies these ░░░░░░░░ to actually work for ░░░░░░░░ American people Pam is ░░░░░░░░ to that I think ░░░░░░░░ will see that What ░░░░░░░░ Trump has done is ░░░░░░░░ has selected people who ░░░░░░░░ willing to not move ░░░░░░░░ business as usual but ░░░░░░░░ are ready for action ░░░░░░░░ understand his vision for ░░░░░░░░ nation They understand the ░░░░░░░░ that was given on ░░░░░░░░ 5th And they understand ░░░░░░░░ time for talk is ░░░░░░░░ and time for results ░░░░░░░░ action is now And ░░░░░░░░ I think people are ░░░░░░░░ sick of the weaponization ░░░░░░░░ had this conversation We ░░░░░░░░ about politics not being ░░░░░░░░ of the process of ░░░░░░░░ you do in the ░░░░░░░░ She is committed to ░░░░░░░░ and I think she ░░░░░░░░ going to do an ░░░░░░░░ job of returning the ░░░░░░░░ to the work of ░░░░░░░░ American people I am ░░░░░░░░ for her hearing I ░░░░░░░░ certainly excited it will ░░░░░░░░ my very first hearing ░░░░░░░░ a member of the ░░░░░░░░ Judiciary Committee We ve ░░░░░░░░ a lot of great ░░░░░░░░ on the Hill this ░░░░░░░░ and they ll be ░░░░░░░░ ll have the opportunity ░░░░░░░░ only to make their ░░░░░░░░ to those on that ░░░░░░░░ Jake but they ll ░░░░░░░░ their opportunity to make ░░░░░░░░ case to the American ░░░░░░░░ of why they are ░░░░░░░░ where they are best ░░░░░░░░ to move President Trump ░░░░░░░░ agenda forward TAPPER But ░░░░░░░░ would you think somebody ░░░░░░░░ s willing to lie ░░░░░░░░ the election results in ░░░░░░░░ is going to restore ░░░░░░░░ in the Justice Department ░░░░░░░░ way that you are ░░░░░░░░ for BRITT Look Jake ░░░░░░░░ ve had very direct ░░░░░░░░ with each and every ░░░░░░░░ of these nominees that ░░░░░░░░ ve had the opportunity ░░░░░░░░ sit down with I ░░░░░░░░ my duty as a ░░░░░░░░ States senator seriously Article ░░░░░░░░ Section Two mandates that ░░░░░░░░ do We have an ░░░░░░░░ both to the American ░░░░░░░░ and to the president ░░░░░░░░ ask these tough questions ░░░░░░░░ asked that question very ░░░░░░░░ and with each and ░░░░░░░░ nominee the answers that ░░░░░░░░ have been given by ░░░░░░░░ has satisfied me that ░░░░░░░░ re going to move ░░░░░░░░ in that direction So ░░░░░░░░ m sure she ll ░░░░░░░░ an opportunity to answer ░░░░░░░░ in front of the ░░░░░░░░ people but the answers ░░░░░░░░ has given me most ░░░░░░░░ she is not only ░░░░░░░░ but she s ready ░░░░░░░░ move forward and move ░░░░░░░░ in a way that ░░░░░░░░ American people deserve TAPPER ░░░░░░░░ general nominee Pam Bondi ░░░░░░░░ testify before your committee ░░░░░░░░ this week You have ░░░░░░░░ she has your support ░░░░░░░░ she will help restore ░░░░░░░░ Department of Justice to ░░░░░░░░ one driven by blind ░░░░░░░░ not blind partisan politics ░░░░░░░░ should note as a ░░░░░░░░ of Trump s legal ░░░░░░░░ in 2020 she falsely ░░░░░░░░ that Trump had won ░░░░░░░░ which he had not ░░░░░░░░ spread baseless claims about ░░░░░░░░ cheating by Democrats about ░░░░░░░░ ballots That is partisan ░░░░░░░░ What she said in ░░░░░░░░ that is not justice ░░░░░░░░ Yeah Jake I mean ░░░░░░░░ at what s happened ░░░░░░░░ the Biden Administration We ░░░░░░░░ people in these offices ░░░░░░░░ have chosen to go ░░░░░░░░ American citizens who have ░░░░░░░░ to weaponize the justice ░░░░░░░░ in a number of ░░░░░░░░ When I talked with ░░░░░░░░ Bondi she committed to ░░░░░░░░ to getting back to ░░░░░░░░ the job of the ░░░░░░░░ to getting back to ░░░░░░░░ what the department was ░░░░░░░░ to do So whether ░░░░░░░░ re talking about the ░░░░░░░░ G whether we re ░░░░░░░░ about the FBI whether ░░░░░░░░ re talking about the ░░░░░░░░ of Defense people want ░░░░░░░░ agencies these departments to ░░░░░░░░ work for the American ░░░░░░░░ Pam is committed to ░░░░░░░░ I think you will ░░░░░░░░ that What President Trump ░░░░░░░░ done is he has ░░░░░░░░ people who are willing ░░░░░░░░ not move as business ░░░░░░░░ usual but yet are ░░░░░░░░ for action They understand ░░░░░░░░ vision for the nation ░░░░░░░░ understand the mandate that ░░░░░░░░ given on November 5th ░░░░░░░░ they understand that time ░░░░░░░░ talk is gone and ░░░░░░░░ for results and action ░░░░░░░░ now And so I ░░░░░░░░ people are actually sick ░░░░░░░░ the weaponization We had ░░░░░░░░ conversation We talked about ░░░░░░░░ not being part of ░░░░░░░░ process of what you ░░░░░░░░ in the department She ░░░░░░░░ committed to that and ░░░░░░░░ think she s going ░░░░░░░░ do an excellent job ░░░░░░░░ returning the department to ░░░░░░░░ work of the American ░░░░░░░░ I am excited for ░░░░░░░░ hearing I m certainly ░░░░░░░░ it will be my ░░░░░░░░ first hearing as a ░░░░░░░░ of the Senate Judiciary ░░░░░░░░ We ve got a ░░░░░░░░ of great nominees on ░░░░░░░░ Hill this week and ░░░░░░░░ ll be they ll ░░░░░░░░ the opportunity not only ░░░░░░░░ make their case to ░░░░░░░░ on that committee Jake ░░░░░░░░ they ll have their ░░░░░░░░ to make their case ░░░░░░░░ the American people of ░░░░░░░░ they are best where ░░░░░░░░ are best suited to ░░░░░░░░ President Trump s agenda ░░░░░░░░ TAPPER But why would ░░░░░░░░ think somebody who s ░░░░░░░░ to lie about the ░░░░░░░░ results in Pennsylvania is ░░░░░░░░ to restore integrity in ░░░░░░░░ Justice Department the way ░░░░░░░░ you are calling for ░░░░░░░░ Look Jake I ve ░░░░░░░░ very direct conversations with ░░░░░░░░ and every one of ░░░░░░░░ nominees that I ve ░░░░░░░░ the opportunity to sit ░░░░░░░░ with I take my ░░░░░░░░ as a United States ░░░░░░░░ seriously Article Two Section ░░░░░░░░ mandates that I do ░░░░░░░░ have an obligation both ░░░░░░░░ the American people and ░░░░░░░░ the president to ask ░░░░░░░░ tough questions I asked ░░░░░░░░ question very directly and ░░░░░░░░ each and every nominee ░░░░░░░░ answers that I have ░░░░░░░░ given by them has ░░░░░░░░ me that they re ░░░░░░░░ to move forward in ░░░░░░░░ direction So I m ░░░░░░░░ she ll have an ░░░░░░░░ to answer this in ░░░░░░░░ of the American people ░░░░░░░░ the answers she has ░░░░░░░░ me most definitely she ░░░░░░░░ not only qualified but ░░░░░░░░ s ready to move ░░░░░░░░ and move forward in ░░░░░░░░ way that the American ░░░░░░░░ deserve.”
