WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Republican-led U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday advanced President Donald Trump's attorney general nominee Pam Bondi, paving the way for the full Senate to vote to confirm the former Florida attorney general as soon as this week.
The panel approved her nomination in a 12-10 vote with Democrats opposed amid concerns over whether Bondi will resist potentially improper or illegal orders from Trump.
