The Brief
Attorney General Pam Bondi is testifying at a congressional hearing on Tuesday.
Bondi defended herself against Democratic criticism that she had weaponized the Justice Department.
During her opening remarks, the attorney general mentioned conservative assertions that President Joe Biden's Justice Department, which brought two criminal cases against President Trump, was the one that weaponized the law enforcement agency even though some of its most high-profile investigations concerned the Democratic president and his son, according to the Associated Press.
