A group of congressional Democrats has started a formal investigation into the Justice Department that Trump has built. They are accusing the administration of Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel of seriously damaging the federal government’s ability to investigate public corruption. In a letter that uses very strong language, the lawmakers expressed their worry that “DOJ’s refusal to enforce anti-corruption laws betrays the public trust and will create lasting harm to Americans’ faith in the integrity of government officials.”
Democrats argue this move will weaken public trust and cause lasting harm to the integrity of government institutions. The Democrats’ letter, which was first obtained by NBC News, stated a belief that the administration has sent a clear message to potential lawbreakers that they can act without being afraid of any consequences.
