Pam Bondi has been sworn in as attorney general. She's taking charge of the Justice Department as it braces for upheaval with President Donald Trump looking to exert his will over an agency that's long provoked his ire.

Ahead of the vote, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) urged his Democratic colleagues to support her.

The Senate voted Tuesday to confirm Pam Bondi as President Trump's Attorney General. Why it matters: Trump now can install a loyalist in the nation's highest law enforcement role, empowering a MAGA overhaul of the Justice Department that could include investigating his political enemies.
