President Trump has vowed to use the Justice Department to attack his critics and former allies. In several videos and speeches, the former president also announced plans to gut the current judicial system by firing “radical Marxist prosecutors who are destroying America.”
In June 2023, President Trump said he would “appoint a true special counsel to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States, Joe Biden, and the entire Biden crime family.” “I will completely eliminate the deep state.”
President Trump said in a campaign video last year that he would reinstate a 2020 executive order to remove “rogue” bureaucrats and propose a constitutional amendment to term limits for members of Congress.
I will appoint a true special counsel to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States, Joe Biden, and the entire Biden crime family. ”
To address the “disturbing” relationship between technology platforms and governments, the former president announced in a January 2023 video that employees of agencies such as the FBI and CIA would have a seven-year cooling-off period before they could return to work. He said he would set it up. A platform that monitors large amounts of user data.
In multiple campaign announcements, Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate online censorship, banned federal agencies from “colluding” with public censorship, and banned universities that participate in “censor support activities.” It added that federal funding would be cut off.
In a speech at the Family Research Council’s Prayer Ballot Summit in Washington, D.C. in September 2023, President Trump touted his plan to continue appointing conservative judges.
“Once again, I’m going to appoint a solid conservative justice to do what needs to be done in the mold of Justice Antonin Scalia. Samuel Alito, a great gentleman. And another great gentleman, “Clarence Thomas,” he said.
President Trump also promised to “appoint someone to be our federal prosecutor who is the complete opposite of District Attorney Soros and every other prosecutor we have appointed across the country.”
In a September 2023 speech in Washington, D.C., President Trump also announced that he would appoint a task force to investigate cases of people who say they have been “unjustly persecuted by the Biden administration.” President Trump said, “I want to quickly investigate the situation and sign a pardon or commutation on the first day.”
This is a step that could lead to a potential pardon for many of the rioters from the January 6, 2021 riot, which he indicated he would do at CNN’s Town Hall in May 2023.
