TRUMP’S Nominees Promise Fairness: A Bold Stand Against Politics
— President Joe Biden gave a farewell speech from the Oval Office, reflecting on his term and calling for less divisive politics. He stressed the importance of removing politics from government, especially in law enforcement. His remarks come as Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees face confirmation hearings.
Trump’s picks for top roles in intelligence, foreign policy, and law enforcement vowed to keep their offices free from political bias. Pam Bondi, nominated for attorney general, accused Biden’s team of using law enforcement against Trump. She promised senators she would not allow political prosecutions if confirmed.
At her hearing, Bondi was asked about Trump’s interest in prosecuting political foes. She avoided discussing election results but committed to steering clear of politically driven investigations. This stance matches Republican worries about what they see as “weaponization” of government agencies under Biden’s leadership.
First Lady Jill Biden voiced disappointment with Nancy Pelosi over their strained relationship after President Biden left the 2024 race. Her comments reveal tensions within Democratic circles as power shifts under Trump’s new administration unfold.
