Overview

  • The Interagency Weaponization Working Group has been meeting since spring 2025, according to officials quoted by Fox News Digital.
  • Participants include personnel from the White House, ODNI, the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, the Defense Department and the Department of Homeland Security, Reuters reported.
  • DNI Tulsi Gabbard established the group to carry out President Trump’s directive to review the previous four years for instances of alleged politicized use of government.
  • Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel said the initiative seeks to end what they describe as Biden-era misuse of federal law enforcement.
  • A senior ODNI official told Reuters there is no targeting of individual people for retribution, and reporting indicates the working group’s reviews remain underway.
