Trump criticizes media and foes at Justice Department

In a speech at the Department of Justice, President Donald Trump criticized the media and his political opponents, claiming they have "weaponized" the department against him. He vowed to investigate his foes and "expose" their alleged misconduct. Trump, the first convicted felon to serve as president, has shifted the Justice Department's focus since returning to office. He has promised to overhaul the department if he wins a second term in the 2024 election. He also attacked major media outlets, calling them corrupt and illegal for their negative coverage. Trump's speech marks a significant departure from traditional norms regarding judicial independence.
