Overview
- Attorney General Pam Bondi said she directed U.S. Attorneys and federal agents to investigate what she calls government weaponization tied to past actions against President Donald Trump and his supporters.
- Bondi argues the "ongoing conspiracy" approach provides a basis to pursue alleged misconduct over a decade, a framing supporters say can toll standard statutes of limitations.
- She praised an extensive release of DOJ and FBI materials to Congress earlier this year and said those documents laid the predicate for a conspiracy case.
- Bondi alleges the FBI protected figures such as Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton while using excessive legal processes against conservatives, citing internal concerns around the 2022 Mar-a-Lago search as an example.
- Reporting notes related grand jury activity, including a letter from John Brennan’s attorneys to Chief Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga seeking judicial intervention in Florida, which Bondi publicly criticized.
