In a recent interview, the former president indicated that the 'weaponization' of federal law enforcement could 'happen in reverse', raising concerns about the potential implications for the 2024 election and American politics.

  • In a recent interview, former President Donald Trump suggested that he could use the Justice Department and FBI against his political opponents if he wins the 2024 election, stating that the 'weaponization' of federal law enforcement could 'happen in reverse'.
  • Trump's comments follow recent reports that he and his allies have been planning specific strategies to use the federal government to retaliate against critics and opponents if he wins a second term.
  • Trump's 'enemies list' reportedly includes not only political opponents but also former members of his administration who have become critics, such as former Attorney General Bill Barr, former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, and former head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen Mark Milley.
