Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News’ Hannity on Friday that the “weaponization” of the legal system has ended following the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. The Justice Department announced Thursday that Comey faces charges of making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation.
Fox host Sean Hannity expressed concern about the legal system being used against former President Donald Trump. Bondi responded, “You shouldn’t be nervous any longer because Donald Trump is in office, and the weaponization has ended.” She emphasized that no one is above the law, stating, “Whether you’re a former FBI director… a billionaire funding organizations to try to keep Donald Trump out of office… everything is on the table.”
Bondi declared that there would no longer be a two-tiered justice system. She claimed she is working closely with FBI Director Kash Patel, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and CIA Director John Radcliffe to hold individuals accountable. The charges against Comey relate to his 2020 Senate testimony, where he denied authorizing anonymous sources or knowing about the political flaws in the Steele dossier.
Recent reports allege that FBI Director Patel discovered “burn bags” of classified documents hidden at FBI headquarters. These documents are reportedly connected to Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI’s 2016 probe into possible links between Trump’s campaign and Russia. Patel claims the files were intentionally concealed to discredit Trump and protect the narrative of Russian interference.
Former DNI Tulsi Gabbard recently declassified documents she says contradict the 2017 intelligence report on Russian election interference. She accused Obama-era officials of orchestrating a “treasonous conspiracy” and announced plans to refer the matter to the Justice Department for further investigation.
