Hours after she was sworn in at the White House, Bondi called for the
creation of “weaponization working group” that will scrutinize the work
of special counsel Jack Smith, who charged Trump in two criminal cases.
- The group will also review “unethical prosecutions” stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, among other things, according to the memo.
The memo satisfies the longstanding contention of Trump and his allies that the Justice Department under the Biden administration had become “weaponized” against conservatives, even though some of its most high-profile probes concerned the Democratic president and his son, and there’s been no evidence to support the idea that the prosecutions against Trump were launched for a partisan purpose.
