Summary

Donald Trump told a Department of Justice crowd that his 2024 victory gave him a “mandate” for a broad investigation into Democratic corruption.

He attacked the courts for prosecuting him and praised his loyalist DOJ officials. Speaking at DOJ headquarters, he vowed to purge “rogue actors” and criticized judges, calling some “corrupt.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi introduced him, breaking DOJ tradition of independence.

Trump also called for legal action against news outlets and advocacy groups, claiming they are political operatives working against him.
