Sen. Adam Schiff questions Pam Bondi at her Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing for Attorney General. He asks repeatedly whether she knows of a factual predicate to investigate Jack Smith, and she doesn't give a yes or no. When Schiff says the President also wants to jail Liz Cheney and asks the same question, Bondi calls it a hypothetical and says no one has asked her to investigate Cheney.
