Inside the Turmoil: Bondi's Controversial DOJ Reforms

Between his presidential terms, Donald Trump accused the U.S. Justice Department of targeting him unfairly, and his Attorney General Pam Bondi appears to be acting on his vow for revenge, critics say. The changes have disrupted long-standing norms and practices within the department, according to insiders.

Bondi, a long-time Trump supporter and former Florida Attorney General, has been instrumental in shifting the DOJ's focus under Trump's directive. She has overseen the publicization of sensitive investigations and enabled actions that have raised eyebrows among Justice Department officials and observers.

Critics argue Bondi's leadership is politically motivated, targeting perceived enemies and spurring mass resignations in the DOJ. While spokespeople defend her commitment to upholding the law, former insiders claim the department's focus and mission have been altered, prioritizing political objectives over impartial justice enforcement.
