The group will review the prosecutions of Trump by state and federal officials.
In her first hours after being sworn in Wednesday as nation’s top law enforcement official, Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a directive Wednesday establishing a “Weaponization Working Group” that she says will be tasked with reviewing “politicized” actions of officials who investigated President Donald Trump at both the state and federal levels.
Bondi’s memo mandates that the group reviews the prosecutions of Trump brought by special counsel Jack Smith and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, as well as the civil fraud case brought against Trump in New York by the state’s attorney general Letitia James.
The review, according to the memo, will be led by the Office of the Attorney General and supported by the Deputy Attorney General and other divisions of the department, and will “provide quarterly reports to the White House regarding the process of the review.”
