Attorney General Pam Bondy is expected to order a review of the incident filed against President Donald Trump.
Bondi, who was sworn in the White House on Wednesday, intends to issue a series of memos aimed at curbing the Department of Justice’s so-called weaponization, a source familiar with her plan told CNN .
She orders a review of criminal and civil cases against Trump, including two federal cases filed by the Biden Department of Justice, and gives warnings that he will punish him for serving his personal politics, as opposed to the Trump administration. .
The memo first reported by Fox News is part of a planned effort to investigate and undo legal moves from the Biden administration, and to bring Bondy’s term vibe to the nation’s best law enforcement officer I set it.
In one memo, Bondi establishes a “weaponization working group” to review law enforcement actions enacted under the Biden administration on examples of “politicized justice.”
The review covers cases filed by former special advisor Jack Smith about Trump’s handling of confidential documents and 2020 election interference, and the hash money case of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. She won a $454 million civil fraud ruling against Trump.
Another memo says Bondi cannot substitute his political beliefs for the argument that the Trump administration will move forward in court, and will be subject to disciplinary action or termination if they attempt. We will warn staff.
“The discretion given to Justice Department lawyers regarding these liabilities does not include latitudes that substitute for the personal political views and judgments of those who have won the election,” reads the memo.
Bondi’s first day comes amid a storm surrounding the shootings of agents and prosecutors who worked on a Trump-related incident and a case related to the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
She was sworn by conservative Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas, and Trump was watching.
“We’re going to make America safe again,” Bondy said in a simple statement at the White House.
Trump praised his choice for the Attorney General, and partially said she was “completely fair.”
“I’m supposed to say she’s going to be totally fair about Democrats and I think she’ll be just as fair as people do. I don’t know if it’s completely possible, but she It’s going to be as complete as you can get,” Trump said. “But she will be fair and she will lead the Department of Justice in destroying violent crimes and destroying gangs everywhere.”
Representative of New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg declined to comment. A spokesman for the New York Attorney General’s Office did not immediately have comment.
Trump previously challenged the legitimacy of both cases in court, with many judges refusing to argue his arguments and refusing to throw them away.
A source familiar with the Trump administration’s strategy said there are “no plans for mass shootings at the FBI,” but agents continue to be concerned. The FBI handed over information about more than 5,000 employees who worked on the January 6 investigation after Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove requested information on a memo last week that said the subject was “end” .
“Officers who worked on the January 6th lawsuit as part of their efforts to comply with Trump’s executive order directing a review of Justice Department actions over the past four years to end the government’s weaponization,” the source said. We defended our efforts to obtain additional information about the…
“Messaging wasn’t as clear as HR issues,” the person said.
Bondi’s first office moves are being scrutinized. The former Florida Attorney General and a solid Trump alliance vowed to protect lawmakers from political motivation at a confirmation hearing last month. But the Trump administration is promoting Bondy’s ability to restructure the Justice Department to fit the president’s vision.
“All cases are prosecuted based on facts and laws that apply in good faith. Politics must be taken out of the system,” Bondy told the Senate Judiciary Committee. “This division has been weaponized for years and must be stopped.”
Bondi also hopes to withdraw memos issued under the Biden administration, including a 2023 FBI Field Office memo that suggests the FBI is targeting “radical traditionalists” Catholics This is what happened, a source told CNN. The memo that General Merrick Garland called “cary” at the time was pulled almost immediately, but was not officially retracted.
She also said she would cancel a 2021 memo from Garland, which addressed the school-imposed “intrusive spikes of harassment, threats and violence.”
The memo sparked months of backlash and false claims that Garland believed Garland believed that parents concerned about education policies were “domestic terrorists,” but the federal judge said. I opposed that characteristic.
Bondi will also set up a new task force focusing on the attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023. The task force will result in criminal charges against Hamas leaders and investigate anti-Semitism in the United States, she said.
Some of Bondi’s directives continue on the aggressive law enforcement and prosecutors’ policies that Trump has also pushed during his first period, including reinvigorating death penalty cases and actively targeting drug cartels.
She also created guidelines that mimic previous directives from Bove, suspending all federal funding in the sanctuary city, and all funding agreements with NGOs that provide illegal assistance to immigrants in the US. Tell the department to evaluate.
Interim Justice Department leadership has already directed FBI leaders to provide information about all current and former department employees who were engaged in the January 6 investigation, and DC’s Chief Federal Prosecutor has launched an investigation into the prosecutor who filed the charges of obstruction. against some mobs who were ultimately thrown for a Supreme Court decision last summer.
The Senate confirmed Bondi by 54-46 votes Tuesday evening. The vote is primarily along the party line, with Democrat Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania joining Republicans supporting Bondi.
The second Trump administration was expected to succeed in creating executive orders and policies to withstand court agendas, but so far it has prioritized staffing in the civic sector. Nevertheless, it has not been proven to be that way early.
Bondi issued an order temporarily blocking the administration’s plans to freeze all federal aid, making new Trump policies in courts where the DOJ is already facing repeated blows. Faced with immediate challenges to protect, a third judge blocked Trump’s executive order from ending citizenship by nature. It is called “blatantly unconstitutional.”
Within the first days of the Trump administration, at least 20 high-level career prosecutors across the department have been removed from the posts they have held for years, CNN reports. The move came before Bondi was confirmed in her efforts to isolate her from criticism, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.

Several of these career prosecutors have been reassigned to a new task force handling Trump’s crackdown on immigrants, several of the prosecutors told CNN. The task force was revealed in memos of state and local officials resisting participation in Trump’s federal immigration crackdown, as well as all department staff in Bove who threatened to investigate or prosecute federal prosecutors.
The department also fired officials who worked on Smith’s team and ordered eight senior FBI leaders to retire, resign or fire.
Interim department leaders began publishing additional memos to department staff, notifying further changes in the way the department moves forward.
One of these memos stated that the Department of Justice suspended agreements requiring reform of police stations where it found patterns of fraud, and that the civil rights lawyer, who ordered, was ordered in the second, had “new complaints, allegations of intervention, agreed to the matter.” 」 にはったいますねったいますねったいますねったいますねったいますねったいます。 English: Limund, Amikos Bri
The third memo directed the prosecutor to restrict prosecutors under the facial laws. This is a law that “prohibits the threat of armed force, obstruction and property damage, with the aim of interfering with reproductive health services.” The memo also told prosecutors to drop the ongoing lawsuits charged under the Act.
The department has dropped other criminal cases against doctors who were accused of illegally accessing medical records that showed Texas Hospital providing gender-affirming care for a transminer.
