Jim Banks, a U.S. Congressman representing Indiana's 3rd district, shared several tweets on February 5, 2025, addressing various political developments and legislative initiatives. Banks has been serving in Congress since 2017 after replacing Marlin Stutzman and previously served in the Indiana Senate from 2010 to 2016.

In a tweet posted at 00:53 UTC, Jim Banks confirmed Pam Bondi as Attorney General. He stated that "President Trump and the American people need an AG who will always defend our liberties and work tirelessly to promote justice. We have that kind of leader with AG Pam Bondi."

Later in the day, at 16:38 UTC, Banks highlighted his legislative efforts to address security concerns related to intellectual property theft by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
