Pam Bondi, the US attorney general, will face senators on Tuesday, as Donald Trump ramps up his crackdown on political opponents, Democratic-run cities and alleged drug traffickers.

Bondi’s appearance before the Senate judiciary committee will give lawmakers from both parties the opportunity to question her about the president’s high-profile interventions into the justice system, including the indictment last month of the former FBI director James Comey, a longtime foe.

Though the charges were filed against Comey only after a top federal prosecutor was dismissed, reportedly for not moving forward with the case, Bondi said: “Today’s indictment reflects this Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case.”
