Washington D.C. – Pam Bondi, the 87th Attorney General of the United States, continues to serve in her role, having been confirmed on February 5, 2025. Her ongoing tenure comes amidst recent speculation from the blockchain-based prediction market Polymarket, which posed the question, "Pam Bondi out as Attorney General this month?"
The Polymarket tweet, originating from the platform's official account, suggests an active market betting on whether Ms. Bondi will cease to serve as Attorney General by July 31, 2025. However, official sources and reputable news outlets have not reported any credible information or announcements indicating her imminent departure from the U U.S. Department of Justice.
Ms. Bondi's confirmation earlier this year was the culmination of a Senate vote of 54-46, making her the first woman nominated by a Republican president to hold the position. Her appointment followed the withdrawal of former Representative Matt Gaetz from consideration for the role.
A long-standing ally of former President Donald Trump, Ms. Bondi previously served as Florida's Attorney General for two terms from 2011 to 2019. She also played a significant role on President Trump's legal team during his first impeachment trial and has been a prominent figure in the America First Policy Institute.
During her confirmation hearings, Ms. Bondi faced scrutiny regarding her independence and past statements concerning the 2020 presidential election. Despite these concerns, she pledged to uphold the integrity of the Justice Department, stating, "Every case will be prosecuted based on the facts and the law that is applied in good faith — period. Politics have got to be taken out of the system."
Polymarket operates as a platform where users can bet on the outcomes of future events, including political developments. While such markets reflect public sentiment and speculation, they do not constitute official announcements or confirmed reports. As of now, there is no official communication from the U.S. Department of Justice or Ms. Bondi herself to corroborate the premise of the Polymarket question.
