Leavitt Defends Trump's Order to Target 'Corrupt' Enemies
"The president is fulfilling his promise to restore a Department of Justice that demands accountability. And it is not weaponizing the Department of Justice to demand accountability for those who weaponized the Department of Justice, and nobody knows what that looks like more than President Trump. We are not going to tolerate gaslighting from anyone in the media or from anyone on the other side who is trying to say it is the president who is weaponizing the DoJ."
"Gabe Gutierrez, a senior correspondent for NBC News, asked the press secretary whether Trump was going back on his Inauguration Day promise thatnever again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents. She said Trump was not going back on that promise when he told Bondi on Saturday she can't delay any longer looking into Schiff, Comey, and New York Attorney General Letitia James, who the president said were all guilty as hell. Instead, the president is honoring his promise and using the Justice Department to demand accountability, Leavitt said."
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended President Trump’s demand that Attorney General Pam Bondi investigate perceived political opponents. Leavitt framed the president as fulfilling a promise to restore a Department of Justice that demands accountability rather than weaponizing it. She named Adam Schiff, James Comey, and New York Attorney General Letitia James as examples of individuals the president believes went unpunished for allegedly pushing false collusion claims. Leavitt accused President Joe Biden and his attorney general of weaponizing the DOJ against a political opponent and rejected media claims that Trump is now weaponizing the justice system.
