"In the post, the president said he had received messages saying, 'What about Comey, Adam 'Shifty' Schiff, Leticia??? They're all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done.'"
"He also said he had 'fired' Erik Siebert from his job as a US attorney in Virginia for not bringing charges against his political foes."
""Trump believed he had sent Bondi the message directly, addressing it to 'Pam,' and was surprised to learn it was public," the Journal reported."
"Bondi grew upset and called White House aides and Trump, who then agreed to send a second post praising Bondi as doing a 'GREAT job.'"
President Trump posted a message on Truth Social that he intended to send as a direct message to Attorney General Pam Bondi. The message urged prosecution of New York Attorney General Letitia James, Senator Adam Schiff, and former FBI Director James Comey, and claimed he had 'fired' U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert for not bringing charges. Trump believed he had addressed the message to 'Pam' and was surprised it became public. Bondi grew upset, contacted White House aides and Trump, and Trump agreed to send a second post praising Bondi as doing a 'GREAT job.' Critics say the episode evidences selective and malicious prosecutions and executive interference in DOJ decisions.
