U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, appearing before a Senate panel on Tuesday, criticized Democratic lawmakers in personal terms as she faced pushback over the Justice Department’s enforcement efforts in Democratic-led cities and investigations of President Donald Trump’s critics.

Illinois Senator Dick Durbin condemned Bondi for firing career prosecutors and agents who worked on investigations condemned by Trump and scaling back the department’s efforts to combat corruption and white-collar crime.

"In eight short months, you have fundamentally transformed the Justice Department and left an enormous stain on American history," Durbin said. "It will take decades to recover."

Asked about the legal justification for Trump’s moves to deploy National Guard troops in U.S. cities, Bondi blamed Democrats for the ongoing government shutdown and said it was jeopardizing public safety.

"I wish you loved Chicago as much as you hate President Trump," Bondi told Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, the top Democrat on the committee.
