Trump Pressures Attorney General Bondi to Charge Political Rivals Amid Credibility Concerns

President Donald Trump publicly criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi for not bringing criminal charges against his political adversaries, including Sen. Adam Schiff, former FBI Director James Comey, and New York Attorney General Letitia James, asserting that delays are damaging their reputation and credibility. Trump expressed frustration on his Truth Social platform, accusing Bondi of inaction despite what he described as strong legal cases supported by many lawyers and pundits. He also criticized the former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Erik Siebert, who resigned after Trump called for his removal over his reported reluctance to pursue charges against James. Trump announced he would nominate his former lawyer Lindsey Halligan as U.S. Attorney for that district, praising her as a tough prosecutor who supports Bondi. The president linked these developments to his claims of being unfairly impeached twice and indicted five times, insisting that justice must be served now. These events reflect ongoing tensions and political battles surrounding investigations into Trump and his opponents, with the Justice Department yet to comment on these pressures and nominations.
