  • Bondi's Turbulent Tenure: Controversies and Initiatives Shake Up the Department of Justice
    2025/05/29
    Attorney General Pam Bondi has been at the center of significant developments since taking office earlier this year. Most recently, on May 14, 2025, ProPublica revealed that Bondi sold between $1 million and $5 million worth of Trump Media stock on April 2, the same day President Trump announced major new tariffs that caused the stock market to plummet. The timing has raised questions, as Trump Media fell 13% in the following days before eventually rebounding. The disclosure forms do not specify whether the transactions occurred before or after the market closed on that day.

    In late April, Bondi announced murder charges and convictions against MS-13 gang members in Broward County, Florida, demonstrating her continued focus on combating gang violence.

    Since being sworn in as the 87th Attorney General of the United States on February 5, 2025, Bondi has moved quickly to implement significant changes at the Department of Justice. On her first day in office, she ordered a comprehensive review of the federal prosecution of Donald Trump and established a "weaponization working group" to scrutinize the work of special counsel Jack Smith, who had charged Trump in two criminal cases. This working group will also review what Bondi termed "unethical prosecutions" related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

    Bondi has also focused on national security and anti-human trafficking efforts. In mid-February, she toured the Port of Tampa Bay, Florida's largest port, receiving a briefing from the port's CEO on security measures.

    On February 20, more than 150 stakeholder organizations signed a letter to Bondi emphasizing the importance of telemedicine access, particularly for mental health and substance use disorders. The letter urged Bondi to rescind a proposed telemedicine regulation from the previous administration and work with Congress to ensure ongoing access to virtual prescribing for certain controlled substances.

    As Florida's first female Attorney General from 2011 to 2019, Bondi built a reputation for fighting the opioid crisis and human trafficking. She previously served as Special Advisor to President Trump in the Office of White House Counsel during his first term, working on his impeachment defense team.

    With her strong ties to Florida and extensive experience in law enforcement and prosecution, Bondi continues to implement President Trump's vision for the Justice Department, focusing on what she considers accountability and reform of the department's operations and priorities.

  • "Controversial Bondi Celebrates with Trump, Aligns Justice Department with President's Agenda"
    2025/05/27
    U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi recently celebrated with President Trump at the White House, honoring the 2025 NCAA Men's Basketball National Champions on May 23. This appearance comes amid ongoing scrutiny of her actions since taking office earlier this year.

    Bondi has been at the center of controversy following revelations that she sold between $1 million and $5 million worth of Trump Media stock on April 2, the same day President Trump announced significant new tariffs that caused the stock market to plummet. Trump Media, which operates the Truth Social platform, fell 13% in the days following the announcement before eventually rebounding. The timing of these transactions has raised questions about potential insider trading, though determining whether Bondi had advance knowledge of the tariff announcement remains unclear.

    Since her confirmation in February 2025, Bondi has implemented several significant changes at the Justice Department. Hours after her swearing-in ceremony at the White House, she ordered the creation of a "weaponization working group" to review the federal prosecution of Donald Trump, including cases brought by special counsel Jack Smith. This directive aligns with claims made during her confirmation hearing that the Justice Department had "targeted Donald Trump."

    In March, Bondi welcomed President Trump to the Justice Department and later made headlines for challenging a judge's authority regarding deportation flights, stating that judges are "meddling in our government." She also decided not to investigate the United States government group chat leak that occurred that same month, determining that the shared information was not classified.

    April saw Bondi making controversial statements about fentanyl seizures during Trump's first 100 days back in office. She initially claimed these seizures had saved 21 million lives, later increasing this estimate to 119 million, and finally to 258 million lives. These statistics have been met with skepticism given the actual annual fentanyl death rate in the United States is approximately 70,000, and her final claim represents 75% of the U.S. population.

    Bondi has also directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in the Luigi Mangione case and held a task force meeting on anti-Christian bias in April. Her tenure has been characterized by significant policy shifts that align with President Trump's priorities, particularly regarding immigration enforcement and criminal justice.

    As the 87th United States Attorney General, Bondi continues to reshape the Justice Department's approach to various issues while maintaining close alignment with the President's agenda.

  • Controversial Attorney General Bondi's Questionable Stock Trades and Reshaping of DOJ Under Trump's Second Term
    2025/05/25
    Attorney General Pamela Bondi recently joined President Trump at the White House to celebrate the 2025 NCAA Men's Basketball National Champions on May 23. This appearance comes amid a busy period for the Attorney General, who was sworn in as the 87th Attorney General of the United States on February 5, 2025, becoming a key figure in the Trump administration.

    In concerning news, ProPublica reported on May 14 that Bondi sold between $1 million and $5 million worth of Trump Media stock on April 2, the same day President Trump announced new tariffs that caused the stock market to plummet. Trump Media, which runs Truth Social, fell 13% in the following days before rebounding. The timing of these transactions has raised questions, though it remains unclear whether Bondi had advance knowledge of the tariff announcement. The Justice Department has not yet responded to questions about these trades.

    As Attorney General, Bondi has been actively reshaping the Department of Justice to align with President Trump's vision. Shortly after being sworn in, she ordered a review of the federal prosecution of Donald Trump and established a "weaponization working group" to scrutinize the work of special counsel Jack Smith, who had charged Trump in two criminal cases. This group is also reviewing what Bondi termed "unethical prosecutions" stemming from the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

    Bondi has also been engaging with various stakeholders on policy issues. In February, she received a letter signed by over 150 organizations regarding telemedicine policy. The letter urged her to rescind a telehealth rule proposed by the previous administration, which they argued included "arbitrary and burdensome restrictions on access to telemedicine."

    In addition to her policy work, Bondi has been active in national security and anti-human trafficking efforts. On February 17, she toured the Port of Tampa Bay, Florida's largest port, where she received a briefing from the Port's CEO, Paul Anderson. This visit highlights her continued interest in combating human trafficking, an issue she championed during her tenure as Florida's Attorney General from 2011 to 2019.

    On March 14, Bondi welcomed President Trump to the Justice Department, further cementing their close working relationship. Bondi previously served as a Special Advisor to President Trump in the Office of White House Counsel during his first term, working on his defense legal team throughout impeachment proceedings.

    As she continues to shape the Department of Justice under the second Trump administration, observers are watching closely to see how her leadership will impact federal law enforcement priorities and ongoing legal cases.
