The actions come after Bondi, who was sworn in earlier this month, vowed during her confirmation hearing in January not to politicize the Justice Department

Bondi, a longtime state prosecutor in Florida and two-time state attorney general, used her roughly five-hour confirmation hearing last month to vow that, if confirmed, the "partisanship, the weaponization" at the Justice Department "will be gone."

"I know I'm supposed to say, 'She's going to be totally impartial with respect to Democrats,'" Trump told reporters then, "and I think she will be as impartial as a person can be."
