WATCH: Padilla spars with Bondi over her claims about 2020 Pennsylvania vote outcome

Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif, questioned U.S. attorney general nominee Pam Bondi in a confirmation hearing Wednesday held by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Padilla noted that Bondi traveled to Philadelphia the day after the 2020 presidential election, joining former Trump lawyer and ally Rudy Giuliani in falsely asserting that Donald Trump had won Pennsylvania. Padilla’s line of questioning focused on whether Bondi had evidence of fraud or irregularities in the 2020 election. “Do you have evidence? Yes or no?” Padilla asked Bondi. He repeated the question. Bondi declined to directly answer the question during the crosstalk and in one the more contentious exchanges in the first day of Bondi’s confirmation hearings. “I guess you don't want to hear my answer about Pennsylvania,” she said at one point, when Padilla wanted to move to another question. “Senator, I’m here to answer your questions. I’m not here to do your homework and study for you,” she said. Bondi is a former Florida attorney general and has been a longtime ally of President-elect Donald Trump. This is the first of two hearings the committee has scheduled for the nominee. Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage.
