Sen. Adam Schiff told Bondi that Democrats’ concern is not about her friendship with Trump or loyalty to him, but what happens when that loyalty conflicts with her duty, the Constitution and her oath.
“And you may say that you believe that conflict will never come,” but the first Trump administration showed that it will, Schiff said. “Jeff Sessions, may not have believed him to come to him. It came to him. Bill Barr may not have believed it would come to him. It came to him,” Schiff said of the attorneys general in Trump’s first term.
“It will come to you, and what you do in that moment will define your attorney generalship, your public service. Everything you have done up to that moment will be judged by what you do in that moment,” Schiff said.
