This comes as Senate Democrats postponed the vote by one week.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Judiciary Committee announced last week that it had canceled its scheduled hearing when members would have had the opportunity to vote to move Bondi\u2019s nomination to the entire Senate.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cPer Judiciary Committee Rule I.3, any member of the Committee may request an item on the Committee\u2019s agenda be held over for a minimum of seven days. Holds are common practice in the Senate Judiciary Committee,\u201d the notice said.<\/p>\n
\u201cPursuant to this rule, the Minority will hold Bondi\u2019s nomination for seven days. As a result of this hold, which goes into effect tomorrow, the Committee will not meet in person for this week\u2019s executive business meeting,\u201d the advisory added.<\/p>\n
Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, testified before the Judiciary Committee in a confirmation hearing last month.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf confirmed, I will fight everyday to restore confidence and integrity to the Department of Justice and each of its components,\u201d Bondi said. \u201cThe partisanship, the weaponization, will be gone. America will have one tier of justice for all.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bondi made waves when she clashed with some of the committee\u2019s Democrat members, including California Sen. Adam Schiff.<\/p>\n
During his questioning, Schiff tried to secure a commitment from Bondi that she would essentially oppose her boss, the president, on certain pardons that Trump has said he is looking to grant, including many Americans convicted of low-level crimes related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
