President Donald Trump has recently called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to increase investigations into his political adversaries. In a direct message to Bondi, he stated, We can't delay any longer, it's killing our reputation and credibility.
Trump's statement highlighted his frustration over the lack of action against figures like former FBI director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, whom he called out for supposed wrongdoing. Following his post, Trump praised Bondi for her efforts, declaring her to be doing a great job.
However, his remarks have drawn criticism from Democrats. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer accused Trump of threatening the independence of the justice system, arguing that the Department of Justice has historically pursued law violators impartially.
Trump's remarks come as questions arise about the integrity of investigations, particularly following the resignation of federal prosecutor Erik Siebert after Trump's dissatisfaction with the handling of cases against his political enemies.
In further comments, Trump reiterated his belief that the Justice Department must act quickly, insisting that there is a strong case against his opponents. He has made it apparent that he sees calls for revenge against perceived adversaries as part of his political strategy moving forward.
