Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general who recently joined President Donald Trump’s messaging team on impeachment, says she sees nothing wrong with the White House working “hand-in-hand” with the lawmakers deciding whether the president should be removed from office. “Before an impeachment trial, all senators have to raise their right hand and take an oath to do impartial justice,” host Chris Wallace said. “I’m asking you about McConnell saying he’s taking his cues from the White House. Please answer the question.”Bondi responded that Trump’s advisers “wouldn’t be doing our jobs” if they didn’t work directly with Senate Republicans on impeachment. If the full House votes to impeach Trump this week, a trial that will assess whether to remove him from office will begin in the Senate.
