Pam Bondi, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, is "very capable" and will "wind up serving well," Democrat Rep. Jared Moskowitz said Thursday morning.
"As far as Pam Bondi is concerned, obviously I know the incoming attorney general," the Florida congressman told CNN. "I was in the legislature when she was the attorney general of Florida [and] when the shooting happened at my high school at Marjory Stoneman Douglas six years ago."
Bondi was not only involved in the response to the shootings but in the school safety commission investigating "what went wrong that day" and on the legislation to "make sure something like that never happened again," Moskowitz added.
He conceded that he and Bondi have "many political disagreements," but he still finds her to be "very capable" as an attorney general.
Witnesses for Bondi are speaking at hearings Thursday, one day after she fielded confirmation questions and rejected contentions that there could be a political "enemies list" under her tenure.
She also vowed to end "the partisan weaponization" of the U.S. justice system if she is confirmed, while echoing Trump's contentions that the court prosecutions he's faced have been politically motivated.
