    • Verification Source #2, #3, and #4: Fail to cover this specific claim.
  • Claim:** (Implied) Bondi's actions are a departure from traditional DOJ independence.
    • Verification Source #1: Supports this claim by mentioning that some people thought Bondi would resist efforts to politicize the DOJ, implying a concern about DOJ independence.
