The Senate Judiciary Committee had a confirmation hearing for Pam Bondi, Donald Trump's pick for Attorney General. Cable news cut away. Here's why.

Ms Bondi’s rise has brought her far from Temple Terrace, the city where she grew up on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Her father, a teacher, was the mayor. While an undergraduate at the University of Florida she considered becoming a paediatrician. But she went to law school, and an internship at the state prosecutor’s office in Tampa sealed the deal.

Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Justice Department, Pam Bondi, is set to face questions on Capitol Hill over her loyalty to the Republican president-elect, who has vowed to use the agency to pursue revenge on his perceived political enemies.

Pam Bondi, Donald Trump’s nominee for the next U.S. attorney general, refused to give a basic yes or no answer, during her confirmation hearing Wednesday, regarding her views on birthright citizenship, which is etched into the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution.

Officials representing Israel and Hamas said today that the two sides had agreed to a 42-day cease-fire that would coincide with the release of Israeli hostages who have been held captive in Gaza. The final details are still being worked out, but the tentative agreement raised hopes that there could soon be an end to the war.

Attorney general nominee Pam Bondi faced questions about Trump and Kash Patel at her hearing, but didn't appear to lose any support from Senate Republicans.

Donald Trump has nominated Florida Senator Marco Rubio to be his secretary of state, while he has chosen lawyer Pam Bondi for attorney general.

In remarks to Congress, President-elect Donald Trump's choice to lead the Justice Department said that "partisan weaponization of the Department of Justice will end" under her watch.

Sen. Chris Coons suggested that there might be common ground with Congress and the attorney general to institutionalize reforms to the clemency process.

The first three hostages released from Gaza arrived in Israel on Sunday for tearful reunions with families, hours after the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took hold.
