🔴LIVE: Pam Bondi Senate Hearing

The Senate is holding an 'Oversight of the Department of Justice' hearing with US Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Bondi’s appearance is her first before the Senate Judiciary Committee since her confirmation hearing in January.

Bondi’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee comes ahead of former FBI Director James Comey’s first court appearance after an indictment and a federal law enforcement surge into several cities nationwide to manage crime and impose immigration laws.

What to watch for in the Bondi hearing:

The Associated Press reported that former FBI Director James Comey’s indictment may be at the center of the Tuesday hearing.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Virginia that introduced the case expressed concerns regarding the strength of evidence, and the Trump administration had to quickly enlist a new prosecutor to secure the charges after the leader of that office resigned.

Attorney General Pam Bondi is likely to laud the Justice Department's efforts to tackle violent crime by surging federal law enforcement in Washington, D.C., and now Memphis, Tennessee.

According to the Associated Press, Republican legislators who make up the majority of the committee will also likely highlight the department's focus on illegal immigration and dismantling Mexican cartels responsible for smuggling drugs into American communities.

Bondi may also face questions about the Justice Department's handling of investigative files related to the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation.
