Trump Administration Uses Justice Department to Probe Political Opponents

Donald Trump is utilizing the Department of Justice to launch daily investigations against political rivals despite claims that no one is above the law.

Donald Trump and his administration are using the United States Department of Justice to conduct daily investigations into political opponents. This pattern of legal targeting continues despite the president's previous criticisms of similar actions during the Biden administration.

High-ranking officials, including the attorney general, the FBI director, the Homeland Security secretary, and the White House press secretary, have publicly maintained that "no one is above the law." However, critics argue these assertions are contradictory given that the Supreme Court of the United States granted Trump total immunity as president. This judicial ruling subsequently led to the absolution of crimes committed prior to his presidency.
