Bondi was confirmed by a vote of 54-46, and will now take the reins at the Justice Department at a moment when it is facing questions about the risk of political influence at the department.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has been sworn into office. “I will restore integrity to the Justice Department and I will fight violent crime throughout this country and throughout this world and make America safe again,” Bondi vowed at the ceremony.

As the country’s top prosecutor, she will serve in a role that has proved challenging under Trump. But Bondi, a staunch loyalist to the president, is unlikely to clash with him like previous AGs.
