"You were the only one who refused to meet with me but what we would have discussed is that it is the job of the attorney general," Bondie said before being interrupted by Hirono again.
"I'm very happy to listen to your responses under oath, Miss Bondi," Hirono said.
"So I think it's really important to us that the attorney general be independent of the White House, and you have a president-elect who considers the AG’s office his law firm. I would like to know whether if the president suggests, hints, asks, that you, as attorney general, should investigate one of his perceived enemies."

"Pam Bondi obliterates Sen. Mazie Hirono for refusing to meet with her," conservative commentator Paul Szypula posted on X. "This was spectacular."
"Common @PamBondi W," the Trump War Room posted on X.
"Imagine thinking Maxie Hirono is qualified to be a U.S. Senator but Pam Bondi isn't qualified to be U.S. Attorney General lol," conservative commentator and former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines posted on X.
Bondi is expected to be confirmed by the Senate, and some have speculated that she will earn some votes from Democrats.
