US EditionTrump calls on Attorney General Bondi to use power of the Justice Department more aggressively
- On September 20, 2025, President Donald Trump posted a message on Truth Social addressed to Attorney General Pam Bondi that demanded prosecution of his political enemies and criticized the lack of action against figures like Adam Schiff and Letitia James.
- The message appeared to be a direct message mistakenly posted publicly, as suggested by officials and commentators who described it as a private text accidentally exposed and subsequently deleted by Trump.
- The post named Schiff and implied political retaliation, prompting reactions such as Schiff calling it weaponization of government power and Hillary Clinton comparing it to Nixon’s public mishandling of Watergate.
- Trump’s subsequent posts commended Bondi’s work while expressing his exasperation that, despite facing multiple impeachments and indictments himself, no legal actions had been taken against his opponents, characterizing the situation as repeated promises without follow-through.
- The incident highlights concerns about political retaliation and security lapses in the administration’s communications, as senior officials were reportedly shocked and Democrats warned of escalating weaponization of the justice system.
