Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, told Newsmax Saturday that Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi "will restore the reputation for equal justice under the law."
On Wednesday, Bondi was grilled by Senate Democrats on whether she would be independent from President-elect Donald Trump.
Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., asked, "As attorney general, if confirmed, who would be your client?"
"My oath would be to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. The people of America would be my client. And it is also my job to advise the president. My client are the people of America."
"America Right Now" host Tom Basille asked Cornyn where Bondi should start when it comes to reforming the Justice Department.
"We've seen a perversion of the notion of equal justice under the law, which is the standard written right over the top of the Supreme Court building. And we know the lawfare that's been executed against President Trump," Cornyn said.
"And I told Pam Bondi when she came to see me that I thought she had a very, very important job to do — and I think one that she is well prepared to do, which is to restore the reputation for equal justice under the law."
Cornyn, who is a member of the Senate Intelligence and Judiciary Committee, added that Bondi "is no pushover."
"She's pretty tough. And I think she can get the job done," he said.
