WASHINGTON — Attorney General Pam Bondi is defending herself at a congressional hearing against Democratic criticism she weaponized the Justice Department. Bondi will face questions over political pressure on the agency to pursue President Donald Trump's perceived foes. During Bondi's opening remarks Tuesday, she echoed conservative claims President Joe Biden's Justice Department was the one that weaponized the agency even though some of its most high-profile probes concerned the Democrat and his son. Bondi's Senate Judiciary Committee testimony comes ahead of ex-FBI Director James Comey's first court appearance following an indictment that has deepened concerns the department is being used to seek vengeance against the current Republican president's political opponents.
