Bondi has swiftly aligned the Justice Department with Trump's political interests, rather than maintaining its independence as she pledged. Her directives appear aimed at protecting Trump and going after his perceived enemies, like ordering reviews of prosecutions against him while dropping charges against his allies. She has removed dozens of officials deemed insufficiently loyal to Trump.
Guardrails separating DOJ operations from White House interference have been lowered. These moves compromise the Justice Department's integrity and nonpartisan enforcement of laws. They represent a disturbing politicization undermining its mission. Bondi must be held accountable for these actions that damage public trust in federal law enforcement and the justice system. The factual concerns about her leadership are compelling enough to warrant a full investigation into her conduct.
