Attorney General Pam Bondi has initiated a review of the federal prosecution of former President Donald Trump as part of a series of directives aimed at reforming the Justice Department. Bondi's directives include the establishment of a 'weaponization working group' to examine the work of special counsel Jack Smith, who brought charges against Trump in two criminal cases. The group will also investigate 'unethical prosecutions' related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
Bondi's actions come in response to claims by Trump and his supporters that the Justice Department under the Biden administration has been biased against conservatives. However, there is no evidence to suggest that the prosecutions against Trump were politically motivated.
