WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) - President Donald Trump made his first visit to the Justice Department on Friday, using the occasion to attack federal prosecutors, judge the media and Democrats while pledging to restore “law and order” under his leadership. “They spied on my campaign,” Trump claime d, referring to past investigations into his administration. He also criticized former FBI Director James Comey and special counsel Jack Smith, calling him “deranged.” During the nearly hour-long speech, Trump accused previous administrations of politicizing the DOJ. “Our predecessors turned this Department of Justice into the Department of Injustice,” he said. “But I stand before you today to declare that those days are over.” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) called the remarks “an insult” to DOJ employees. “The personal vendettas and partisan games of a politician have no place in the Department of Justice,” Raskin said. Since taking office, Trump has fired several FBI or DOJ officials he considers corrupt. Some have resigned in protest. Attorney General Pam Bondi also spoke, emphasizing the administration’s focus on stopping fentanyl trafficking. “We will continue to fight the cartels,” Bondi said. The issue has bipartisan support. On Friday afternoon, the Senate passed legislation to increase penalties for fentanyl traffickers. ...read more read less
