Washington, D.C. — In response to the Senate confirmation vote for Pam Bondi as Attorney General, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) issued the following statement from Senior Director of Judiciary & Democracy Doug Lindner:

“It is the responsibility of the Senate to confirm nominees who work for the people and defend the Constitution, not just the President and his corporate cronies. There should be zero votes to confirm a hyperpartisan Attorney General while the Trump administration is conducting illegal political purges of the Justice Department and FBI as well as freezing all environmental and civil rights enforcement. Pam Bondi’s record of backing polluters over people and Trump over the Constitution demonstrate she is unfit to serve the people as our Attorney General. The Senate should have rejected this dangerous nominee who will help Donald Trump and Elon Musk weaponize law enforcement, undermine the rule of law, imperil our freedoms, and steamroll protections for our climate and our democracy.”
