The panel has recommended an FBI investigation, though Cheney denies the accusations, labeling them politically motivated and aimed at protecting Donald Trump. The FBI has not confirmed if it will pursue the case.
Schiff pressed Bondi further, asking, “Are you aware of any factual basis to investigate Liz Cheney?” Bondi countered, “Senator, no one has asked me to investigate Liz Cheney. That is a hypothetical.” She then shifted the focus to California’s crime rate, adding, “The crime rate in California is through the roof.
Robberies are 87% higher than the national average. That’s where I want to focus if confirmed as Attorney General.”
Bondi’s assertive responses and refusal to be cornered by Schiff’s line of questioning earned praise from Republican senators in attendance. The hearing highlighted Bondi’s combative approach and her willingness to challenge Democratic critics directly—qualities her supporters argue are crucial for the role of Attorney General.
