Following his election victory, President Trump initially claimed he would avoid seeking retribution against his adversaries. However, a recent executive order indicates otherwise, as he seeks to punish officials in the Justice Department and intelligence agencies for alleged past misdeeds. This order is part of a broader initiative titled 'Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government', and has resulted in changes in security clearance regulations, reflecting a shift towards a more vengeful approach during a potential second term.
Mr. Trump made clear that he intends to seek out and possibly punish government officials in the Justice Department and America’s intelligence agencies as a way to correct misconduct.
The executive order, titled Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government, came amid a blizzard of other actions on Monday evening.
