Happening Now: AG nominee Pam Bondi confirmation hearing before Senate Judiciary Committee

Pam Bondi, President-elect Trump’s pick for attorney general, will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday morning in her first confirmation hearing.
Bondi, the president-elect’s second choice for the role after former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) withdrew his name from consideration amid controversy.
The former Florida attorney general was also a senior adviser on the defense team for Trump’s first impeachment and was later one of several Republicans who showed up in New York last year to back him during his hush money trial, which resulted in his felony conviction.
The hearing is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. EST.
