President Trump will visit the Justice Department to emphasize his tough-on-crime agenda, marking the first appearance by a sitting president in a decade. This visit, viewed as a victory lap after Trump's legal challenges, signifies his attempt to regain influence over the department. His remarks are anticipated to address grievances related to past criminal investigations, especially his indictment status. Amid mixed views on politicization within the department, Trump's speech aims to outline his vision for restoring law and order and depoliticizing the agency's practices.
"I'm going to set out my vision," the Republican president said Thursday about the purpose for a visit the White House is billing as 'historic.'
Trump's trip two months into his second term is particularly striking. That's because of his unique status as a onetime criminal defendant indicted by the agency he is now poised to address.
