Trump is rejected the Ministry of Justice months after his criminal persecution has been rejected

WASHINGTON President Donald Trump will visit the Ministry of Justice on Friday to help support his government's hard school.

“I will interpret my vision,” said the Republican President on Thursday about the purpose for a visit. The white house is “historical”.

The selection of the event location for the speech underlines Trump's great interest in the department and the desire to have an impact on criminal investigations that shaded his first four years in office and subsequent campaign. The visit, the first of Trump and the first of every president for a decade, brings him to the belly of an institution that he has been reducing in Sengter for years, but one that he tried through the installation of loyalists and members of his personal defense team in leadership in management positions.

Although there are some precedents for presidents to speak to the workforce of the Ministry of Justice from the ceremonial large hall of the building, Trump's journey is particularly striking two months after his second term. This is due to his unique status as a former criminal accused, which is accused by the agency, which he can now address, and because his remarks are likely to be broadcast on his fighting of the punitive justice system-an FBI search in 2022 of his estate in Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, for classified documents.

Trump's visit is also carried out at a time when Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed that the department must be depoliticized, even if the critics claim to bring the agency to the decision.

“President Trump will visit the Ministry of Justice to make comments on the restoration of law and order, to eliminate violent criminals from our communities and to end the weapons of the judiciary against Americans for their political inclinations,” said the press spokesman for the White House, Karoline Leavitt.

Over the decades, the relationship between president and leaders of the Ministry of Justice has grown and let up over the decades, depending on the personalities of the officials and the sensitivity of the investigation that have dominated the day. The dynamics between President Joe Biden, a Democrat, and his Attorney General Merrick Garland, was partly supervised by special examinations that Garland was supervised in bidens abuse of classified information and in the fire weapons and tax matters of his son Jäger.

When it comes to determining its agenda, the Ministry of Justice historically takes a note from the White House, but tries to maintain its independence for individual criminal investigations.

Trump has built up such standards.

He encouraged specific investigations during his first term and tried to develop Robert Mueller's dismissal, the special consultant who examined the campaign between Russia and Trump in 2016. He also had difficult relationships with his first two hand -picked lawyers in general – Jeff Sessions was fired immediately after the 2018 interim elections, and William Barr stepped back weeks after having publicly contested Trump's wrong claims in the 2020 elections.

When he arrived a second term in January, Trump was reinforced and decided to be the unshakable control of the Ministry of Justice for the unshakable control of the Ministry of Justice and was determined to have potential obstacles, including the appointment of Bondi – a former Attorney General in Florida, the part of the Trump defense team, in his first criminal offense – and another, another, another, another Trump defense team.

At her hearing for confirmation in January, Bondi Trump's false claims of mass voter fraud in 2020 seemed to support by refusing to answer directly whether Trump had lost bidges. She also repeated his position that he was “targeted” by the Ministry of Justice, even though the public prosecutor had accumulated. She regularly praised him in the appearances of Fox News Channel and proudly found that she had removed portraits of Biden, Garland and Vice President Kamala Harris from a Wall of the Ministry of Justice from a Wall of the Ministry of Justice.

“We all love Donald Trump and want to protect him and fight for his agenda. And the people in America chose him mostly for his agenda, ”Bondi recently said in a FOX interview with Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump.

Even before Bondi had been confirmed, the Ministry of Justice dismissed the department employees who worked in the special consultant Jack Smith's team, the Trump accused the election in 2020 and to hoard classified documents into Mar-A-Lago. Both cases were rejected last November according to the long -term policy of the Ministry of Justice against the information sitting.

Officials also demanded from the FBI lists of thousands of employees who worked on investigations on January 6, 2021, on the US Capitol, when a mob from Trump's followers stormed the building to stop the certification of the votes, and the public prosecutor who had participated in the cases. And they ordered the dismissal of criminal proceedings against the New York Mayor Eric Adams by saying that the indictment of the Democrat was hindered the ability of the Democrat to work together in the struggle of the Republican government against illegal immigration.

Leavitt is one of three administrative officials who are exposed to the Associated Press, at reasons of the first and fifth change. The AP says that the three punish the news agency for editorial decisions that contradict them. The White House says that the AP does not follow an executive regulation to describe the Gulf of Mexico as the Golf of America.
