Overview

• On Saturday, Trump posted a message addressed to “Pam” urging prosecutions of Adam Schiff, James Comey and Letitia James, calling them “guilty as hell,” and the post was briefly deleted before being reposted.
• He later told reporters that Attorney General Pam Bondi and her team “have to act fast” and incorrectly claimed he had been indicted five times.
• The pressure campaign followed the resignation of acting U.S. attorney Erik Siebert in the Eastern District of Virginia after he faced internal pressure over an unproven mortgage-fraud probe of James, and Bondi installed former Trump lawyer Lindsey Halligan as interim replacement despite no prosecutorial experience.
• Related actions include a DOJ case opened into Comey and separate referrals targeting Schiff, which a former federal prosecutor characterized as a political hit job disguised as law enforcement.
• Separately, reporters Carol Leonnig and Ken Dilanian have reported that White House border official Tom Homan was recorded accepting a $50,000 cash payment in 2024 and that the Justice Department later closed the probe while he remained in his post.
