Trump, in the Department of Justice, reduces the ‘weaponry’ after the prosecution is dismissed

President Donald Trump visited the Department of Justice on Friday and a step that came because he had tried to emphasize the control of the leading state law enforcement agent who brought two historical prosecutions to him, which was foiled by the victory of the 2024 election.
He used the background to repeat his accusations that are now well known that the Department of Justice “Armed” to attack him.
“We must be honest about the lies and violations that have occurred in these walls. Unfortunately, in recent years, a group of corrupt hacking and radicals in the American government has eliminated that the trust and good intentions built from generation to generation,” he said. “They armed the great power of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies to try and frustrate the will of the American people.”
“Our predecessors changed the Department of Justice to the Department of Injustice,” he continued. “But I stood before you today to declare that the days were over, and they would never return. They will never be. So now, as the Head of Law Enforcement Officers in our country, I will insist and demand full and complete accountability for the mistakes and violations that have occurred.”
A rare visit marked the first time Trump inside the wall of the building of Robert F. Kennedy as President, and followed the conflict of almost a decade which was proven to be the main stress test for post-watergate norms intended to preserve independence from the White House.
Week Opening of Trump’s Presidential Trump has become a period of upheaval that has never happened before for DOJ, because Trump’s political leadership immediately moved to re -assign or overthrow career officials who were tasked with the role of senior crime and national security in various administrations.

Prosecutors who work on investigations from January 6’s attacks on Capitol are fired, as well as DOJ and FBI officials who work for former special advisors to investigate Trump Jack Smith.
The department’s efforts to bring down his criminal corruption cases against New York Mayor Adams resulted in a dramatic deadlock that led to several resignations by prosecutors and other high -ranking officials who described the arrangement as a clear “Quid Pro Quo” to secure Adams’s cooperation with efforts to enforce aggressive aggressive immigration.

Press Secretary of the White House Karoline Leavitt reviewed Trump’s statement on Fox News, said that it would be focused on “restoring the law and order,” but added that he might also discuss “ending the weapons of justice.”
“Donald Trump will go to the Department of Justice to visit with Attorney General Pam Bondi and Kash Patel to give speeches not only to the Department of Justice but to the Americans about Donald Trump’s intention to restore the Department of Justice that is truly focused on fighting crime and restoring the law and order in American society,” Leavitt said at Fox News.
He also reviewed a statement when asked by reporters in the White House on Friday morning, said Trump would join a family who lost a child “in the hands of illegal migrant criminals” and because of “illegal Chinese Fentanyl.”
In Thursday’s comment to reporters in the White House, Trump said his speech at DOJ would “establish” “his vision” for the department through the rest of his term of office.
“I think we have an unbelievable person, and all I will do is set my vision. This will be their vision, really, but that’s my idea,” he said. “We want to have justice, and we want to have – we want to have safety in our city and our community. And we will talk about immigration. We will talk about many things.”

Almost every person appointed to the previous department represents Trump as a defender lawyer in the capacity of officials or personalities, a reflection of Trump’s hopes for the loyalty of the department which he thinks he believes in blocking his first term and then “armed” against him after leaving his position.
While Attorney General Pam Bondi told the senators in a confirmation trial that he would not “not politicize” his office on the opening weeks, critics argues, have been marked by political-loading statements repeatedly emphasizing his loyalty to Trump.
“I have never seen this before, and we all liked Donald Trump and we want to protect him and fight for the agenda,” Bondi said in an interview with Trump Lara Trump’s son -in -law.
In another interview earlier this month, Bondi said he was still working to “eradicate” officials in the department who he said “hated Donald Trump.”

In one of his first direction after confirmation, Bondi ordered DOJ officials to “defend” the interests of the presidency, and threaten discipline or stop for every lawyer who refused to sign the legal argument submitted by political leadership.
“When the lawyer of the Department of Justice, for example, refused to submit an argument in good faith by refusing to appear in court or sign a brief, it damaged the constitutional order and seized the president of the benefits of his lawyer,” the directive said.
Trump’s visit to DOJ was the first to any government institution since serving, although not without precedent. The last visit by the American President who sat in the building was by former President Barack Obama, who attended the departure ceremony in 2015 for Eric Holder – for a retirement ceremony to respect his time as the Attorney General.
