@nytimes: Pam Bondi, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, refused to explicitly say that she would defy Trump’s pressure during a confirmation hearing, but she offered a blanket promise that “politics will not play a part” in deciding who to investigate. The hearing had its contentious moments as Democrats repeatedly accused her of dodging basic yes-or-no questions about election denialism, the potential prosecution of Trump’s political enemies — and how she would deal with attempts by Trump to influence the department’s actions. #PamBondi #confirmationhearings
