Pam Bondi's Intent to Target Political Rivals via DOJ Highlighted by Legal Nonprofit After Florida Bar Dismisses Third Ethics Complaint Against AG

The Florida Bar has dismissed yet another misconduct allegation against U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, marking her as the state's first female attorney general, as reported by the Miami Herald. Accusations emerged from a coalition of liberal and moderate legal experts alleging “serious professional misconduct” that jeopardizes the rule of law. They claimed Bondi pressured Department of Justice lawyers to breach ethical standards in a memo issued on her first day. Moreover, accusations of intimidation against staff who resisted political motives were highlighted. Despite these assertions, Bondi is in good standing with the bar, with her chief of staff criticizing the complaints as baseless attacks. Previous efforts to disbar her were similarly dismissed, emphasizing constitutional protections for sitting officials.
