Florida Supreme Court Rejects Investigation of Pam Bondi
The Florida Supreme Court refused to force the Florida Bar to investigate U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for alleged state ethics violations.
The court sided with the Florida Bar and state Attorney General James Uthmeier, finding that the petitioners lacked standing to ask for an investigation of federal officials.
Because petitioner has failed to show a clear legal right to the relief requested, he is not entitled to mandamus relief.
The decision was made after dozens of lawyers and former judges requested an investigation.
- The Florida Supreme Court's rejection was co-signed by five of the seven justices.
- The court's decision was welcomed by supporters of Pam Bondi, with one stating:
I'm glad to report that the Florida Supreme Court rejected the attempted partisan lawfare against @AGPamBondi.
