Trump Publicly Orders AG Pam Bondi to Prosecute Political Enemies

In September 2025, President Trump posted a message on Truth Social directly instructing Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute several political opponents, including former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. The message, intended as a private directive but released publicly, broke norms of DOJ independence and was criticized as a blatant attempt to weaponize law enforcement for political retaliation.
