"It is not weaponizing the Department of Justice to demand accountability for those who weaponize the Department of Justice,"
"We are not going to tolerate gaslighting from anyone in the media or from anyone on the other side who is trying to say that it's the president who is weaponizing the DOJ,"
"[Trump] wants accountability for these corrupt fraudsters who abused their power, who abused their oath of office, to target the former president and then candidate for the highest office in the land,"
"We can't delay any longer, it's killing our reputation and credibility. They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!,"
The White House characterized demands for accountability for officials accused of weaponizing the Department of Justice as not itself weaponizing the DOJ. Accusations were leveled that past officials abused power and oath to target a former president and candidate. A Truth Social post urged Attorney General Pam Bondi not to delay prosecutions of James Comey, Adam Schiff and Letitia James, arguing delays harm reputation and citing past impeachments and indictments. The post referenced the resignation of U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert amid pressure over prosecution decisions. The post prompted criticism from both Republicans and Democrats.
