Senator warns Pam Bondi already taking steps to 'take over elections in swing states'
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi came under fire over the weekend for what some have called a "breathtaking" plan to extort the state of Minnesota as a means to "seize" the state's "election infrastructure."
Bondi has purportedly already taken the first step toward taking over elections in Minnesota and other U.S. states by sending a letter to Tim Walz, the Minnesota governor, according to Democratic Senator Chris Murphy. The letter demands access to data from Minnesota, including voter record information.
Murphy flagged the potential threat.
"Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump," he wrote. "Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states."
In a video, Murphy went on to explain how he believes this is Bondi and Trump trying to "rig" elections in key jurisdictions.
MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart called the letter "breathtaking," but MAGA influencers turned on Bondi and said letters aren't enough.
Dem strategist Matt McDermott also chimed in, saying, "As insane as this sounds, it’s true: Pam Bondi sent Minnesota officials a letter today saying ICE would leave the state if Minnesota turns over its voter files to the Trump Administration."
"They’re openly using state violence as a bargaining chip to seize election infrastructure," he added.
