Trump, in the Department of Justice, decreases the ‘weapon of the weapon’ after the prosecutions dismissed

President Donald Trump visited the Department of Justice on Friday, a measure that occurs when he has tried to affirm control over the main agency of application of the Law of the Nation that brought two historical prosecutions against him, which were frustrated by their 2024 electoral victory.

He used the stage to repeat his now familiar accusation that the Department of Justice was “armed” to attack him.

“We must be honest about the lies and abuses that have occurred within these walls. Unfortunately, in recent years, a corrupt group of hacks and radicals within the ranks of the US government erased that confidence and good will accumulated throughout generations,” he said. “They harmonized the vast powers of our intelligence agencies and application of the law to try to frustrate the will of the American people.”

“Our predecessors made this department of justice in the department of injustice,” he continued. “But I stand before you today to declare that those days have ended, and that they will never return. They will never return. So now, as the director of application of the law in our country, I will insist and demand a complete and complete responsibility of the errors and the abuses that have occurred.”

The rare visits Trump’s first time within the walls of the Robert F. Kennedy building as president, and follows at the value of almost a decade of conflict that has proven to be the final stress test for the norms after the Department of Justice that they intend to preserve the independence of the White House.

The first weeks of Trump’s presidency have been an unprecedented time for the Department of Justice, since Trump’s political leadership immediately moved to reallocate or expel the officials of their career who served in high -level criminal and national security roles in multiple administrations.

Dozens of prosecutors who worked on investigations derived from January 6 against the Capitol, as well as to the DAJ and FBI officials who worked in Trump’s investigations on former special advisor Jack Smith.

An effort of the department to eliminate his case of criminal corruption against the mayor of New York, Adams, resulted in a dramatic confrontation that led to multiple resignations by prosecutors and other senior officials who described the agreement as a clear “Quid Pro quo” to ensure the Cooperation of Adams with the aggressive immigration enters efforts of the administration.

The White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, foreseen Trump’s comments on Fox News, saying that he will focus on “restoring law and order”, but added that he could also discuss “put an end to the weapon of justice.”

“Donald Trump will go to the Department of Justice to visit the Attorney General Pam Bondi and Kash Patel to give a speech not only to the Department of Justice, but to the US people about the intention of Donald Trump to restore a justice department that is really focused on combating the crime and restoration of the law and order in the US communities,” Leavitt said in Fox News.

He also obtained the preview of the comments when the White House journalists asked him on Friday morning, saying that Trump will join the families who have lost children “at the hands of illegal migrant criminals” and due to the “illegal Chinese fentanyl.”

In Thursday’s comments to the White House journalists, Trump said his speech in the Department of Justice “would establish” his “vision” for the department through the rest of his mandate.

“I think we have incredible people, and all I am going to do is establish my vision. It will be his vision, but they are my ideas,” he said. “We want to have justice and want to have, we want to have security in our cities and in our communities. And we will talk about immigration. We will talk about many things.”

Almost all the best appointed for the department previously represented Trump as a defense lawyer in an official or personal capacity, a reflection of Trump’s expectation of loyalty of an department that has said he thinks he hindered his first mandate and then was “armed” against him after leaving office.

While the attorney general Pam Bondi told the senators at her confirmation hearing that “would not politicize” their office, their first weeks, critics argue, have been marked with politically loaded statements repeatedly emphasizing their loyalty to Trump.

“I had never seen this before, and we all worshiped Donald Trump and we want to protect him and fight for his agenda,” Bondi said in an interview with Trump’s daughter -in -law, Lara Trump.

In another interview earlier this month, Bondi said he was still working to “eradicate” department officials who said “despise Donald Trump.”

In one of his first directives after his confirmation, Bondi ordered the DOJ officials to “jealously defended” the interests of the presidency and threatened the discipline or termination for any lawyer who refused to sign the legal arguments presented by political leadership.

“When the lawyers of the Department of Justice, for example, refuse to advance in the arguments of good faith reducing the Court or signing writings, undermines the constitutional order and deprives the president of the benefit of his lawyers,” said the directive.

Trump’s visit to the DOJ is the first at any government agency since he assumed office, although he is not exempt from precedents. The last visit of an American president in the building was of former President Barack Obama, who attended an exit ceremony in 2015 for Eric Holder, for a retirement ceremony that honors his time as a general prosecutor.
