President Donald Trump said the Justice Department is “turning the page on four long years of corruption and weaponization.”
Trump spoke Friday when delivering remarks at the Justice Department for an event focused on fighting fentanyl, a highly lethal drug that has become an escalating problem in the United States. Trump said during the Biden administration, the DOJ was weaponized against political opponents, and “set loose violent criminals and went after patriotic parents.”
After being targeted by a string of Justice Department investigations during the Biden administration, Trump vowed to make the department less political and focus on fighting violent crime, including fighting illegal drug cartels.
Trump said the Biden Justice Department “broke the law on a colossal scale.”
“In the end, truth won, and freedom won,” Trump said.
However, Trump’s Democrats in Congress have insisted that Trump is likely to weaponize the Justice Department to retaliate against political foes.
Trump called for an investigation into what he considered vast corruption in the DOJ duirng the Biden years.
“Now, as the chief law enforcement officer in our country, I will insist upon and demand full and complete accountability for the wrongs and abuses that have occurred,” Trump said.
Trump talked about the targeting of parents speaking out at school board meetings, as well as the targeting of traditional Catholic churches. But also lamented what has happened to him over the Biden years.
“They spied on my campaign; launched one hoax and disinformation operation after another; broke the law; persecuted my family, staff, and supporters; raided my home at Mar-a-Lago; and did everything in their power to prevent me from becoming the president of the United States,” Trump said.
“But in the end, the thugs failed, and the truth won. Freedom won, justice won, the democracy won, and the American people won.”
Trump did note the DOJ had a strong tradition and was “one of America’s most revered institutions.”
“The men and women of the DOJ brought down the Mafia; hunted down the killers, kingpins, and spies; tracked down terrorists and traitors; and tore down corrupt political machines all across America,” the president said.
Under Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, he added, “you’ll soon be the most admired and most respected of all.”
