End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller issued the following statement on Donald Trump nominating Pam Bondi for U.S. Attorney General:
“Pam Bondi’s work as a lobbyist on behalf of foreign governments and major corporations represents a major conflict of interest and opens the door to rampant corruption and malfeasance. This nomination isn’t about Bondi’s qualifications––it’s about giving Trump total control of the Justice Department to allow unfettered self-dealing, corruption, and revenge.
“Bondi has a history of neglecting her professional duties to protect those who pay up. Nowhere was this more evident than when she abandoned her responsibility to investigate allegations of fraud at Trump University after pocketing an illegal $25,000 contribution for her reelection campaign.
“Pam Bondi won’t serve justice in this role; she was nominated to serve Donald Trump’s personal vendettas. She was handpicked to weaponize the Justice Department as he prepares to carry out his plans for revenge and retribution against his political enemies.
