Two congressional Democrats are calling on the Justice Department's internal watchdog to launch a probe into what they characterized as a "troubling pattern" of favorable outcomes for clients who hired defense attorney Brad Bondi, the brother of Attorney General Pam Bondi, for representation in cases involving the Justice Department.
The lawmakers, Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Rep. Dave Min, D-Calif., penned a letter Wednesday asking the DOJ's inspector general to review "whether Attorney General Pamela Bondi properly recused herself from, or otherwise improperly influenced, several cases involving defendants represented by her brother."
"We are concerned that DOJ officials, including the Attorney General, may have failed to ensure the independence of internal accountability mechanisms," the lawmakers wrote.
Brad Bondi, a defense lawyer with the firm Paul Hastings, has secured several voluntary dismissals and settlements since his sister took the helm at the DOJ. In a LinkedIn post cited in the Democrats' letter, Brad Bondi promoted a litany of "remarkable victories" on behalf of clients in 2025.
