Donald Trump's pick for attorney general, Pam Bondi, will face a Senate panel on Wednesday where Democrats are expected to grill her over the Republican president-elect's threats to use the Justice Department to seek revenge against his political enemies.

Pam Bondi will face the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday for the first day of her confirmation hearing to be attorney general, a high-profile appearance that could shed light on how she would handle controversial plans for the Justice Department from President-elect Donald Trump.

After more than a decade of defending Trump, Pam Bondi is now the president-elect's nominee to be the country's top prosecutor and reform the Department of Justice.
