CNN's Elie Honig identified some pointed questions that Pam Bondi should be compelled to answer before she's confirmed as Donald Trump's attorney general.

The former Florida state attorney general faces the start of her confirmation process in a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the CNN legal analyst urged the Democratic minority to press Bondi on her assistance with Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss.

"I would confront Pam Bondi with her own words, quote them," Honig said. "She said, 'We won Pennsylvania,' she said there were fake ballots cast. I would read those back to her. I would have her say, first of all, did you say those things? Yes, she did, and then I would say, 'Are they true? Did you believe them to be true when you said them in 2020? Do you still believe them to be true now?' and I would demand to the extent possible, some sort of yes-or-no explanation, and if she says, 'Yes, I believe them to be true,' now that's a major problem. I don't know that Democrats, they don't have necessarily the numbers to do anything about it."

"The other question I would ask her is, 'Has your view changed when you said those things in 2020? Why are you now changing your position?'" Honig added. "If she changes her position, what's behind that? So I think what you do is you confront her with the things she said and you demand to know. 'Did you believe it then? Were you making it up? Were you mistaken, and have you changed now?'"
