Rep. Neguse Issues Statement on Firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi

Washington, D.C — Today, Colorado Congressman Joe Neguse issued the following statement after President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi:

“When Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before our committee last month, the country learned what many of us have long made clear — that she was completely unfit to serve as our nation’s chief law enforcement officer. Her termination — a mere 30 days after former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was also removed — is long overdue.” 

“Put simply, Bondi’s incompetent mismanagement of the Department of Justice has been a disgrace. From her unlawful targeting of Trump’s political opponents to the dismantling of the Public Integrity Section and subversion of the rule of law, her tenure as Attorney General has been reprehensible.”

“We will continue to demand accountability, and to use every legal tool available to do so.”

Rep. Neguse has been a key leader in directing House Democrats’ legal and oversight efforts against the Trump administration. His work has resulted in significant outcomes, including the prior ousting of former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
