President Donald Trump called the highest official of the law enforcement, the Attorney General Pam Bondi, to investigate his political opponents more in a aggressive manner.
In an article on social networks in September, sent directly to Bondi, he said: “We can no longer delay, this kills our reputation and our credibility.”
Trump expressed his frustration that “nothing is done”, before calling Bondi to investigate the former director of the FBI James Comey, the Prosecutor General of New York, Letitia James and the Democratic Senator Adam Schiff, who supervised his first indictment.
“I have reviewed more than 30 declarations and messages saying that, essentially,” even an old story as the last time, all discussions, no action. Nothing is done. And Comey, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, Leticia ??? They are all guilty like hell, but nothing will be done, “said Trump.
During his electoral campaign, Trump promised to take revenge on several of his perceived political enemies – including former President Joe Biden – and others who have opposed him.
He revoked security authorizations – which allows people to access classified documents – of several officials, including James and the Manhattan district prosecutor, Alvin Bragg, who brought the Hush -Money criminal case,
He dismissed several prosecutors who worked for special Jack Smith lawyer on two criminal probes against him. He also took measures against law firms with lawyers involved in surveys on allegations against him, in particular the firm who used the former special lawyer Robert Mueller.
