Stop the Politicization of the DOJ

Under the leadership of Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and deputies Todd Blanche, Dan Bongino, and Emil Bove, the Department of Justice has worked less to seek justice on behalf of the American people and more to protect the personal interests of Trump and his allies and shield them from accountability and prosecution.

• The DOJ has dropped charges against former NYC mayor Eric Adams and Trump’s co-defendants in the classified documents criminal case.

• Bondi has fired the director of the Department of Ethics Office, at least three Jan. 6 prosecutors, and 20 DOJ prosecutors who assisted Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal investigation of Trump.

• The DOJ has opened up criminal investigations into two of Trump’s political rivals, former FBI director James Comey and former CIA director John Brennan.

• Bondi, Blanche, and Bove have fired and discredited a whistleblower who provided information about the officials encouraging DOJ lawyers to defy court orders.

• The DOJ has fired Maurene Comey, one of the Jeffrey Epstein prosecutors, and released a new memo that contradicts Bondi’s previous statements about Epstein’s death and case files.

The purpose of the DOJ is to ensure the safety and security of Americans by upholding the law and holding to account those who break it. Instead, the Trump administration’s DOJ has weaponized the agency to seek revenge on political enemies and protect themselves and their allies. Congress must hold these department officials accountable and demand they serve the American people instead of protecting the wealthy from legitimate prosecution.
