Here’s what to know about Bondi’s confirmation hearing.

Pam Bondi, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s pick for attorney general, is set to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday to answer questions about her time as a lobbyist, her criticism of the Justice Department and her past role as an attorney for Mr. Trump.

Like many of Mr. Trump’s picks for cabinet positions, Ms. Bondi shares his disdain for the Justice Department, federal prosecutors and the F.B.I. She, like Mr. Trump, has accused them of conducting witch hunts against him and his allies. He has threatened to use the Justice Department to go after his enemies after he takes the oath of office on Jan. 20.

Given Ms. Bondi’s loyalty to Mr. Trump — she served on his defense team during his first impeachment in 2020 — she will most likely face questions from lawmakers about how she would deal with thorny legal questions that test her relationship with the president-elect.

Senators are also likely to ask her about Mr. Trump’s pick to lead the F.B.I., Kash Patel, who has promised to restructure the bureau and to use its resources to go after Mr. Trump’s enemies. The F.B.I. director reports to the attorney general.

She is expected to face questions about her role as a lobbyist from when she joined the firm Ballard Partners, which has close ties to Mr. Trump, in 2019. She registered as a lobbyist for Qatar and represented major corporations including Amazon, Uber and General Motors, according to records.

She will also likely be asked about Mr. Trump’s immigration plans and what role the Justice Department would play in carrying them out. Mr. Trump has promised to sign dozens of executive orders on his first day in office, including ones that would lead to mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.

Here’s what you need to know:

• The hearing: Senators are scheduled to begin questioning Ms. Bondi at 9:30 a.m. Eastern on a packed day of confirmation hearings. Other Trump nominees up for hearings on Wednesday include Senator Marco Rubio, for secretary of state, and John Ratcliffe, for C.I.A. director.

• Bondi’s background: She started her legal career as a local prosecutor in Florida, her home state, and began her rise in the Republican Party in 2010 when she was elected the state’s attorney general, a post she held until 2019. Ms. Bondi was Mr. Trump’s second choice to lead the Justice Department after former Representative Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration because of scrutiny over allegations of sex trafficking and drug use.

• Election denialism: Ms. Bondi has repeatedly supported, without providing evidence, Mr. Trump’s fabricated claims of election fraud in the 2020 election. If confirmed as attorney general, she would be responsible for investigating irregularities in federal elections, were they to arise.
