"Pam Bondi’s Ties to Scientology Explained"

"Donald Trump's nominee for Attorney General Pam Bondi has held ties to the Church of Scientology at various points throughout her career."

"During her tenure she accepted campaign contributions from Scientologists and attended multiple fundraisers organized by prominent members of the church."

"A fundraiser for Bondi's reelection campaign in 2014 in Clearwater, Florida, was organized by six prominent Scientologists, the Tampa Bay Times reported at the time. Christina Johnson, Bondi's campaign spokeswoman, told the newspaper that Bondi was aware that Scientologists were staging the event."

From 'Right Wing Watch':

"Trump AG Pick Pam Bondi Tied to New Apostolic Reformation Dominionists"

"Pam Bondi, President-elect Donald Trump’s second pick for U.S. Attorney General, has ties to New Apostolic Reformation dominionists who worked hard to put Trump back in office and believe his election will bring about a spiritual 'great awakening' that will help like-minded right-wing Christians take control of the 'seven mountains' of influence in America—government, business, education, media, arts and entertainment, religion, and family."

"After Bondi left office as Florida’s Attorney General, she joined the America First Policy Institute, a think tank created by former staffers that, like the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, has been laying the groundwork for a 'revolutionary' plan to 'seize control' and dismantle the 'administrative state' - federal agencies charged with protecting American workers, consumers, and communities from corporate wrongdoing."

"This year, AFPI partnered with dominionist Lance Wallnau’s Courage Tour, which mixed religious revival with Christian nationalist politics and pro-Trump political organizing. Wallnau celebrated the announcement of Bondi’s nomination as a 'great pick,' noting, 'She’s part of the America First Policy Institute, a great group I had the privilege of working with in the last year.' "

"Reflecting the MAGA movement’s increasingly aggressive Christian nationalist orientation, AFPI claims scriptural foundations for every aspect of its right-wing policy agenda, which it has called '10 Pillars for Restoring a Nation Under God.' "
