In a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday, dozens of former Justice Department officials urged her to be confirmed as president-elect Donald Trump’s choice for attorney general, Pam Bondi, later this month. They praised both her devotion to the rule of law and her trail history as Florida’s former attorney general, which they said made her truly qualified for the position. The text, previewed exclusively to Fox News Digital, was signed by more than 110 top Justice Department officials who served under both Democratic and Republican services, including former U. S. lawyers public John Ashcroft, Jeff Sessions, Bill Barr, and Edwin Meese. Former acting solicitor general Matthew Whitaker, deputy prosecutors public Rod Rosenstein and Jeffrey Rosen, and Randy Grossman, who served as the U. S. counsel for the Southern District of California under the Biden administration, are among the various significant members. The DOJ students expressed their” powerful and passionate help” for Bondi, Florida’s former attorney general, who likewise spent 18 years as a prosecutor in the Hillsborough County State Attorney’s office. ” It is all too rare for older Justice Department officials—much less Attorneys General—to have such a wealth of expertise in the day-to-day job of keeping our communities safe”, they wrote. TRUMP’S AG PICK HAS ‘ HISTORY OF CONSENSUS Creating'” As a career prosecutor, Attorney General Bondi will be available from the first day on the job to struggle on behalf of the American people to reduce crime, address the opioid crisis, back the women and men in blue, and rebuild credibility to the Department of Justice”, they wrote in the letter, sent to Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and and Dick Durbin, D-Ill. The letter praised Bondi’s work as Florida’s attorney general, where she led an aggressive crackdown on opioid drugs and the many “pill mills” operating in the state when she took office. They also praised what they described as Bondi’s “national reputation” for her work to end human trafficking, and prosecuting violent crime in the state. Bondi’s other accomplishments in Florida, where she won economic relief and consumer protection victories on behalf of residents of the Sunshine State, were also underlined by officials. Her work leading the National Mortgage Settlement after the 2008 financial crisis led to a$ 56 billion settlement in economic relief for victims, according to the letter. In response to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, Bondi’s lawsuit against BP and other companies responsible resulted in a$ 2 billion settlement in economic relief. Bondi’s commitment to the rule of law and what the former officials praised as her track record of working cross-across when she spent more than 20 years as a prosecutor were also highlighted in the letter. UnLIKELY COALITION: A CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM ADVOCATE SEES OPPORTUNITIES IN A SECOND TRUMP TERM” Some of us have worked directly with Attorney General Bondi during her term in office and can personally attest to her devotion to the rule of law,” they wrote. ” Many more of us know and admire her well-earned reputation from her long and distinguished career in government service in Florida, her advocacy and litigation on the national stage, and her demonstrated courage as a lawyer.” As former DOJ officials,” we know firsthand how difficult she will face as Attorney General, and we also know she is up to the job,” said Bondi, who has worked with him since 2020. She has acted first in his first impeachment trial, and then, more recently, in her capacity as co-chair of the Center for Law and Justice at the America First Policy Institute ( AFPI), a think tank set up by former Trump staffers. Additionally, she was a member of Trump’s Opioid and Drug Abuse Commission during his first presidential campaign. Former Boundi employees have told Fox News Digital that they anticipate her to use the same blueprint as she did in Florida to crack down on drug trafficking, fentanyl use, and cartels that smuggle drugs across the border. The Justice Department and the nation will benefit from Attorney General Bondi’s leadership, the DOJ officials said in a statement, adding,” We urge you in the strongest manner possible confirm her as the next Attorney General of the United States.”
