Much of the focus in the news over the past several days has been on the horrific attack on National Guard members in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, and the alleged shooter's motive and background.
Attorney General Pam Bondi joined Shannon Bream on Fox News Sunday to discuss the attack, the investigation, and what is known about the suspect and how he became radicalized.

During the segment, Bream also asked Bondi about calls for congressional oversight into U.S. military strikes on Venezuelan vessels as part of an effort to combat narcoterrorism. Bondi affirmed the administration's commitment to keeping Americans safe from "this poison that is flowing into our country," emphasizing that the administration will take any legal means necessary to do so. Bondi also had a word to the wise for the narcoterrorists.

BREAM: I want to ask you about something that developed overnight. We heard that (the) top Democrat, top Republican on the House Armed Services Committee are going to join what is happening in the Senate, a bipartisan call to — for more information on what's happening with these strikes off Venezuela, off the coast there. We've built up a military presence, a very strong one there. There are a number of lawmakers asking for a memo from the Office of Legal Counsel that supposedly provides the legal justification for what's going on — will that be declassified? Will you turn it over to lawmakers or make it public in any way so we can see the legal justification for what's going on?
After briefly returning to the issue of National Guard troop deployments and the ongoing legal battles the administration is facing in its efforts to keep American cities safe, Bondi addressed the narcoterrorist question:
BONDI: We are committed to taking out these narcoterrorists. President Trump is, Marco Rubio is — our entire administration. And that goes back to Joe Biden letting these foreign terrorist organizations walk into our country, come into our country, through Mexico. They are narcoterrorists — what you're showing on the screen right now (video from November 15 of a vessel being blown up in the Eastern Pacific) are terrorists, and they are being blown up.
We are not going to agree — you know, these Democrats don't want to agree with us. It's crazy. The drugs that are flowing into our country from these terrorists are killing our children. And...if the Democrats won't protect our children, Donald Trump will — by any means we need to within the legal realm of our society, and that's what we are doing.
As far as a classified memo, I'm not going to discuss that, but I will say Venezuelan drug dealers need to tread very, very carefully, because if you are a narcoterrorist, if you are a TdA, we are coming after you. President Trump has made that crystal clear: No more will they be coming into our country, thanks to Joe Biden; no more will they be killing our kids with this poison that is flowing into our country from Venezuela, from Mexico, from all of these other countries — fentanyl being made in China. That's what this is about: protecting Americans every single day, Shannon. We have to.
We can expect an ongoing tussle/discussion between Congress and the administration on this issue (along with continued fallout from the Seditious Six video), but I don't see the administration blinking on this.
