The US president, Donald Trump, has praised the work of Attorney General Pam Bondi, while denouncing an alleged inaction and the delay by the Department of Justice and has intensified his pressure on her asking him publicly asking him to adopt a more rigorous position against his political opponents and claim “immediate” results in the open investigations.
Thus, the president has asked Bondi this Saturday-in a publication in his Social Truth account-to use the power of the Department of Justice firmly to present charges against figures such as former FBI director James Comment, Senator Adam Schiff and the Attorney General of New York, Letitia James.
“PAM: I have reviewed more than 30 statements and publications that say, in essence, the same story of the last time: pure word and no action. Nothing is being done. And what about Comey, Adam ‘Shifty’ Schiff and Letitia? They are all guilty, but nothing is going to be done,” Trump denounces in a first message.
In this line, the New York tycoon has criticized that the lack of concrete actions and the slowness of the judicial processes are damaging the credibility of the institution: “We cannot delay anymore, it is killing our reputation and credibility,” he added.
Despite his initial reprimand, the White House tenant has later nuanced his words by expressing his confidence in Bondi, praising his “excellent” performance as a attorney general and describing her as “very careful” and “very intelligent.”
“A firm prosecutor”
On the other hand, Trump has announced in the same chain of publications his intention to appoint his lawyer, Lindsey Halligan, as a substitute for Erik Siebert for the position of Federal Prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia, arguing that “a firm prosecutor” is needed in that position.
“What we do not need is a ‘Republican’ with the support of the Democrats. I will nominate Lindsey Halligan for the United States prosecutor in this important part of our great country. It will be fair, intelligent and will provide the necessary justice for all,” he continued.
Trump has expressed his confidence that Haligan “will do great things” for US justice and has predicted “exceptional” performance in his work with Bondi and the attached attorney general Todd Blanche.
Later, in statements to the media collected by CNN, the Republican has reiterated his desire that the judicial system acts faster. “I just want people to act. And we want to act quickly,” he said, before loading again against the Democrats, whom he has accused of acting in a “ruthless and cruel” way during his mandate.
Thus, Trump has remarked that, if his political opponents are not guilty, they should not be accused; But that if they are, “we have to do it already.”
