Tell Congress: Investigate Pam Bondi's Rigged Settlement

Congress must immediately investigate U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi's shady role in a rigged antitrust settlement that let a $14 billion tech merger sail through.

Bondi, a Trump ally and the nation's top law enforcement official, chose to become directly involved in brokering a merger between Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Juniper Networks. DOJ antitrust officials were ready to block the deal, citing national security and monopoly concerns. 

But under Bondi's leadership, the decision flipped within days. The final settlement handed corporate powerhouses a win with barely any conditions—no explanation, no transparency, and no accountability.

This merger is a glaring example of how politically connected actors can override career antitrust staff and expert concerns to serve powerful corporate interests. We can’t let this corruption go unchallenged.

Tell Congress: “Launch an immediate investigation into Attorney General Pam Bondi’s interference with antitrust enforcement at the Department of Justice. Don’t let backroom dealmaking overrule the law and the public interest.”

Pam Bondi helped defend Trump during his first impeachment. Now, she oversees the Department of Justice—and her role in this case suggests political interference with the frontline work of anti-corruption officials. Our justice system should not be a tool for insiders and corporate cronies.

The stakes are massive. This merger reshapes the tech industry, with real consequences for cybersecurity, innovation, and consumer choice. If we let this slide, we send a message that the law bends for the well-connected while everyone else plays by the rules.

Congress has a duty to investigate who rigged this settlement and why. The public deserves answers, and justice demands accountability.

Sign the petition demanding Congress expose the truth behind Pam Bondi's role in this merger scandal. Our democracy depends on a justice system that works for all—not just the powerful few.

The petition to Congress reads: “Launch an immediate investigation into Attorney General Pam Bondi’s interference with antitrust enforcement at the Department of Justice. Don’t let backroom dealmaking overrule the law and the public interest.”
