    Trump Suggests Deporting Ilhan Omar ‘Back To Somalia’

    U.S. Rep Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, and Cori Bush speak at the Mississippi River in Minneapolis asking for President Biden to stop Line 3 pipeline construction.

    President Donald Trump escalated his criticism of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) in a late-night Truth Social post Sunday, tying her to allegations of widespread fraud in Minnesota and accusing her of knowing details about the case.

    Trump’s comments came as part of a broader Sunday night posting spree that also revisited his push for the U.S. to acquire Greenland and raised concerns about a proposed New York Stock Exchange-style initiative reportedly being discussed for Dallas.

    But Trump’s sharpest remarks were aimed at Omar and Minnesota’s ongoing fraud investigation, which Republicans and administration officials have repeatedly cited as an example of major waste and abuse—particularly involving pandemic-era programs.

    In his post, Trump wrote:

    There is 19 Billion Dollars in Minnesota Somalia Fraud. Fake ‘Congresswoman’ Illhan Omar, a constant complainer who hates the USA, knows everything there is to know. She should be in jail, or even a worse punishment, sent back to Somalia, considered one of the absolutely worst countries in the World. She could help to MAKE SOMALIA GREAT AGAIN!

    The post followed Trump’s earlier claims Sunday that Omar and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) were using ICE operations and immigration enforcement disputes to shift public attention away from the fraud investigation.

    Republicans Point to Long-Running Minnesota Fraud Cases

    The Minnesota fraud controversy is not new, but it has continued to draw national attention—especially as Republican lawmakers and Trump administration officials argue that weak oversight and progressive political leadership have allowed major fraud schemes to flourish.

    Much of the recent focus has centered on a long-running Justice Department investigation involving alleged fraud tied to Minnesota-based programs. Minnesota’s Somali community has also been drawn into the spotlight in recent online coverage, including viral claims about alleged daycare-related fraud spread by YouTuber Nick Shirley.

    While critics argue the community has been unfairly targeted, conservatives say the issue is not ethnicity or immigration status—but the scale of fraud and whether political leaders turned a blind eye.

    Feeding Our Future Case Still Looms Over the State

    The most widely known Minnesota fraud case remains the Feeding Our Future scandal. In 2022, under the Biden administration, federal prosecutors indicted dozens of suspects in connection with the Feeding Our Future case, an alleged $250 million scheme involving pandemic-era food aid funds.

    The case has been frequently cited by Republicans as evidence that emergency spending programs during COVID were riddled with vulnerabilities and were too easily exploited.

    Omar Background and Trump Feud Remain Flashpoints

    Omar, who arrived in the U.S. as a refugee from Somalia at the age of 12 and became a citizen in 2000, was elected to Congress in 2018 and has consistently been a target of Trump’s attacks, which she has dismissed as racist and politically motivated.

    Trump and Omar have traded public attacks for years, with Omar frequently criticizing Trump-era immigration enforcement, foreign policy, and what she describes as nationalist rhetoric. Trump, in turn, has repeatedly singled her out as a symbol of what he and many conservatives view as an increasingly radical Democratic Party.

    The renewed attention comes as Trump and Republicans continue to highlight fraud and immigration enforcement as major election-year issues

    Trump To Pardon Former Puerto Rican Governor

    Just in…

    President Trump will pardon former Puerto Rico Gov. Wanda Vázquez Garced (R), a White House official confirmed to The Hill on Friday. 

    Garced, who was governor of the U.S. territory from 2019 to 2021, was arrested in 2022 for allegedly bribing people to finance her 2020 campaign. 

    In August, Garced pled guilty to accepting a campaign finance violation from a Venezuelan banker in 2020. 

    Garced endorsed Trump’s 2020 reelection bid. One of her co-defendants attorneys, Christopher Kise, was apart of Trump’s legal team during the 2022 federal investigation into his handling of classified documents for a short period.

    Most notably, Kise led Trump’s defense in the civil fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

    The White House official noted to The Hill that the investigation into Garced began 10 days after she backed Trump in 2020. The official also pointed out that Vasquez argues there was no bribery because the discussions in question were with a potential donor on police, and not taking action for a material gain.

    Iranian Cleric Threatens Trump, Calls To Execute Protesters

    Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami, a hard-line Iranian cleric close to the regime, on Friday openly called for the execution of protesters in Tehran as the Islamic Republic intensifies its crackdown on demonstrations spreading through the capital.

    “Armed hypocrites should be put to death!” Khatami declared in a sermon broadcast on Iranian state radio, according to The Associated Press.

    Khatami’s remarks underscore what many conservatives have long argued: Iran’s leadership is not a conventional government but a revolutionary theocracy that rules through intimidation, mass arrests, and violence—especially when faced with internal dissent.

    Regime turns its fury toward Trump and Israel

    Khatami also aimed his threats at President Donald Trump, who has warned the Iranian regime that executions of demonstrators would cross a red line that could trigger a U.S. military response.

    Khatami described the demonstrators as “butlers” of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and “Trump’s soldiers,” accusing both men of “disintegrating the country.”

    “They should wait for hard revenge from the system,” Khatami said of Netanyahu and Trump, per the AP. “Americans and Zionists should not expect peace.”

    For Republican-leaning Americans who view Iran as the world’s leading state sponsor of terror, Khatami’s comments serve as another reminder that Tehran’s ruling clerics continue to treat the United States—and Trump in particular—as an enemy to be threatened, not a partner for diplomacy.

    Iranian state TV escalates rhetoric against Trump

    The comments come amid renewed concerns over inflammatory messaging carried by Iranian state media. Iran’s government-controlled television networks—which operate as propaganda arms of the regime—have repeatedly aired hostile messaging targeting the United States and Israel, including threatening rhetoric directed at President Trump.

    Iran’s state broadcasters have often been used to amplify the regime’s “Death to America” ideology, glorify attacks against U.S. interests, and signal the leadership’s intent to retaliate against Western pressure. That same infrastructure is now being used to justify domestic repression, painting protesters as foreign agents rather than Iranian citizens demanding freedom.

    Judiciary chief pushes for “fast” punishment

    Khatami’s call for executions followed remarks earlier this week from Iran’s judiciary chief, Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei, who urged rapid action against protesters.

    “If we want to do a job, we should do it now. If we want to do something, we have to do it quickly,” Mohseni-Ejei said, according to The Associated Press, citing a video from Iranian state television.

    “If it becomes late, two months, three months later, it doesn’t have the same effect. If we want to do something, we have to do that fast,” he added.

    His statement reflects a familiar authoritarian playbook: move quickly and harshly to crush resistance before it spreads—through intimidation, public punishment, and fear.

    Trump says executions halted after U.S. warning

    Iranian shopkeeper Erfan Soltani was expected to be among the first to face the death penalty, but the Trump administration said hundreds of executions were halted following the president’s intervention. Trump on Wednesday said he’d been told by good sources that Iran would not proceed with executions.

    On Tuesday, Trump canceled talks with Iranian leaders and issued a blunt message of support to demonstrators.

    “Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING – TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY. MIGA!!!” he wrote in a Truth Social post.

    The president has said any acts of violence against protesters would draw a “strong” response from the U.S., while White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters “all options remain on the table.”

    To Republicans who supported Trump’s maximum-pressure strategy, the moment is being viewed as a test of whether deterrence still works: the U.S. draws a clear line, and hostile regimes back down when they believe America is serious.

    Death toll rises as Iran tightens grip

    The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reported 2,797 deaths in Iran amid the government crackdown as of Friday afternoon.

    Nobel Peace Prize Medallion Presented To Trump By Venezuelan Opposition Leader

    Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado said President Donald Trump “deserved” the Nobel Peace Prize after she presented him with her Nobel medal during a White House visit on Thursday, calling the moment “emotional.”

    Machado made the comments in a teased interview with Fox & Friends Weekend host Rachel Campos-Duffy, where she described personally handing the medal to Trump in a gilded frame.

    “Why did you do that?” the host asked.

    Machado replied: “Because he deserved it. It was a very emotional moment. I decided to present the Nobel Peace Prize medal on behalf of the people of Venezuela.”

    Fox News also reported that Machado praised Trump for helping deliver freedom “not only [for] the Venezuelan people, but I would say the whole hemisphere,” pointing to what she described as Trump’s role in confronting the Maduro regime.

    Watch:

    Nobel officials say the award can’t be “transferred”

    The symbolic handoff came just a day after the Norwegian Nobel Institute publicly warned that the Nobel Peace Prize “cannot be revoked, shared or transferred to others.”

    That statement followed Machado’s recent suggestion that she wanted to “share” recognition with Trump—an idea Nobel officials made clear is not possible under Nobel rules, even if the physical medal changes hands.

    CBS News, citing White House officials, reported the medal Machado gave Trump was her real Nobel Peace Prize medallion, not a replica.

    Trump celebrates the gift on Truth Social

    Trump reacted enthusiastically online late Thursday, calling the medal “for the work I have done” and describing it as “a wonderful gesture of mutual respect,” according to multiple reports.

    The White House also posted a photo of Trump and Machado posing with the Nobel medal, highlighting the meeting and the Venezuelan opposition leader’s show of support.

    Machado: “It went very well”

    Machado said the meeting itself was productive, framing it as a long-awaited opportunity to speak directly with the president.

    Speaking more generally about the visit, she told Fox News: “It went very well. I’m very grateful for the opportunity I had to speak with President Trump. Something I’ve been looking forward to for a very long time.”

    Trump’s long-running Nobel argument

    Machado’s decision to honor Trump also plays into a familiar theme for the president: for years, Trump has argued that he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize for his diplomatic efforts, particularly the Abraham Accords and other Middle East initiatives that normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations.

    Trump has repeatedly suggested that his accomplishments were ignored by what he and his allies describe as an international political establishment that often gives more credit to globalist leaders than to outsiders pushing major change.

    Cruz Rages At Reports Iran Is ‘Explicitly Threatening To Murder Trump’

    Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and other close allies of President Donald Trump were left fuming after reporters leaked that Iranian state TV broadcast an image threatening to assassinate the president.

    Iran issued the sickening threat against President Trump on Wednesday, broadcasting a picture of the commander in chief during the 2024 Butler rally assassination attempt — with the words “This time it will not miss the target.” The ominous warning was aired on Iranian state-run TV, Agence France Presse (AFP) reported.

    This marks Tehran’s most direct threat yet against Trump, following repeated threats that the US will strike the country if it continues its brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters.

    On Tuesday, President Donald Trump urged the people of Iran to “take over” the country’s institutions on saying he has canceled all planned meetings with the Iranian regime until its crackdown on unrest ends.

    “Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING – TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

    “I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY. MIGA!!!” he continued, referencing “Make Iran Great Again.”

    The death toll from nationwide protests grew to 2,000, The Associated Press reported, citing activists.

    Trump’s message to Iranians has become increasingly intense in recent days. In addition to encouraging anti-government protests, Trump threatened earlier this week to impose a 25 percent tariff on any country conducting business with Iran if they also do business with the U.S.

    Cruz shared the image and wrote on X, “Iran explicitly threatening to murder Trump. Tucker—whose podcast the Ayatollah is currently playing in Persian all across Iran—insists that Iran has never done this.”

    Mediaite reported that Cruz referenced Tucker Carlson in his post as the two have long feuded over Trump’s previous strikes against Iran, which Carlson vehemently opposed and warned would lead to World War III.

    Fox host Mark Levin also shared the image and wrote, “Iranian regime threatening to assassinate our President and making clear they’ve tried before! It’s time to deal with this. I’m sure we will.”

    Republican Issues Impeachment Warning Over Trump’s Greenland Proposal

    A Republican Congressman signaled he would move to impeach President Donald Trump if he follows through on his threat to invade Greenland and take it by force.

    In an interview with the Omaha World-Herald, Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) said he personally would “lean toward” voting to impeach the president if he were to follow through on threats to take over Greenland.

    “I’ll be candid with you. There’s so many Republicans mad about this,” Bacon told the paper. “If he went through with the threats, I think it would be the end of his presidency.”

    Bacon, a swing state Congressman who is known to split from his Republican colleagues, has become even more outspoken against Trump since announcing he is leaving Congress at the end of the current term.

    “It’s about whether the United States intends to face a constellation of strategic adversaries with capable friends — or commit an unprecedented act of strategic self-harm and go it alone,” McConnell said. He added that, “following through on this provocation would be more disastrous for the President’s legacy than withdrawing from Afghanistan was for his predecessor.”

    On Wednesday in the Oval Office, Trump snapped at a reporter who confronted him about a potential invasion.

    “It sounds like you would potentially acquire Greenland by force,” the reporter said.

    “No, you’re saying that. I didn’t say it,” Trump said. “You’re telling me that that’s what I’m going to do — you don’t know what I’m going to do.”

    Watch:

    In a speech on the Senate floor Wednesday, former Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) warned that President Trump’s talk of seizing Greenland by force threatens to “incinerate” the nation’s long-standing ties with NATO allies.

    McConnell declared that burning the treaty organization that formed after World War II to contain Soviet aggression would be an “unprecedented act of strategic self-harm.”

    “Unless and until the president can demonstrate otherwise, then the proposition at hand today is very straightforward: incinerating the hard-won trust of loyal allies in exchange for no meaningful change in U.S. access to the Arctic,” McConnell said on the Senate floor, delivering one of the strongest statements criticizing the Trump administration’s talk about potentially seizing Greenland by force.

    He warned that following through on the “ill-advised threats” from the administration would “shatter the trust of allies.”

    “Following through on this provocation would be more disastrous for the President’s legacy than withdrawing from Afghanistan was for his predecessor,” he said.

    Watch:

    He pointed to polling showing that just 17 percent of Americans think trying to take control of Greenland is a good idea and that 68 percent of Americans view the NATO alliance favorably.

    Former Special Counsel Jack Smith to Testify Publicly About Trump Criminal Probes

    Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is expected to appear publicly before Congress later this month to answer questions about his high-profile investigations into President Donald Trump—a development Republicans say is long overdue as concerns grow over the Justice Department’s handling of politically charged cases.

    Smith, who was appointed by then-Attorney General Merrick Garland in 2022, will testify before the House Judiciary Committee on January 22, according to an announcement made Monday night by Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH).

    The upcoming hearing follows Smith’s closed-door interview with House lawmakers last month, where he reportedly claimed he had proof “beyond a reasonable doubt” that Trump conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election—an assertion likely to draw close scrutiny from Republicans, who have argued that the federal government has repeatedly applied one set of standards to Trump and another to Democrats.

    Smith’s testimony is expected to focus on the two major investigations he previously led: one involving Trump’s alleged actions following the 2020 election, and another involving the handling of classified records after Trump left office.

    “Jack has been clear for months he is ready and willing to answer questions in a public hearing about his investigations into President Trump’s alleged unlawful efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his mishandling of classified documents,” Smith’s attorney, Lanny Breuer, said in a statement to NBC News.

    Smith testified for roughly nine hours in the closed-door session, but has since pushed to make his remarks public. According to the report, Smith later demanded that House Republicans release the “full videotape” of his nine-hour testimony.

    Both the transcript and video were released a week later, after Republicans said the public deserved transparency about an investigation that many conservatives view as a continuation of Washington’s long-running legal campaign against Trump.

    In his closed-door testimony, Smith reportedly claimed he had proof “beyond a reasonable doubt” that Trump committed a crime related to efforts to challenge the 2020 election outcome. Supporters of Trump, however, have argued that contesting election procedures and raising objections—especially through legal channels—is not unusual in American politics and has occurred in disputed elections in the past, including challenges by Democrats to Republican victories.

    Smith also addressed his classified-documents case, claiming his office uncovered evidence that Trump “willfully retained highly classified documents after he left office in January 2021, storing them at his social club, including in a bathroom and a ballroom where events and gatherings took place.”

    The documents investigation centered on materials stored at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida residence and private club. Republicans have questioned whether Trump was treated fairly compared to other officials who were also found to have mishandled classified materials, arguing that selective enforcement undermines public trust in the justice system.

    Smith’s public appearance on January 22 is likely to intensify debate over whether the Justice Department and federal prosecutors have been used as political weapons—particularly as the country heads deeper into a contentious election cycle and voters demand answers about government power, transparency, and equal justice under the law.

    GOP Senator Flips War Powers Stance Following Trump Criticsm

    Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) will reportedly now vote with Senate Republican leaders to defeat a resolution that aims to block President Trump from using military force against Venezuela.

    Hawley, who backed advancing the measure last week, said Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed to him that Trump will not deploy troops to Venezuela.

    Hawley changed his position on the bill several days after Trump lashed out at him and the four other Republican senators who voted to advance the measure out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last week.

    The Hill reports:

    A person familiar with Hawley’s position confirmed that he will vote against the war powers resolution when it comes up for consideration on the Senate floor Wednesday.

    Hawley told Punchbowl News on Wednesday that he will vote to quash the war powers resolution after receiving assurances from Rubio that the administration would seek approval from Congress before deploying troops to Venezuela.

    Trump called for the ouster of Hawley and GOP Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Rand Paul (Ky.) and Todd Young (Ind.) after they defied him last week with their votes.

    “Republicans should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our Powers to fight and defend the United States of America. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young should never be elected to office again,” Trump wrote on Truth Social after the vote.

    Hawley brushed off the President’s criticism last week, arguing his reading of the Constitution led him to believe deploying troops to Venezuela or another country requires authorization from Congress.

    “I don’t take any offense to that,” Hawley told reporters at the time. “I think the president’s great. Love the president.

    “But on this, today … I was asked to vote on would Congress need to weigh in if the administration decided they needed to commit troops to the future for hostilities,” he said. “Under the Constitution … I think we have to vote on that.

    Secret Service Agent Placed On Leave After Disclosing Sensitive Vance Info

    A U.S. Secret Service (USSS) employee assigned to Vice President JD Vance’s protective detail has been placed on administrative leave after an undercover video released by independent journalist James O’Keefe allegedly showed the employee leaking sensitive security information, according to Fox News.

    The Secret Service confirmed it is investigating the incident and said the employee’s security clearance has been suspended and access to agency facilities and systems revoked. The episode is reigniting concerns about operational security inside the agency at a time when national political tensions—and threats against Republican leaders—are already at historic highs.

    USSS Deputy Director Matthew Quinn told Fox News in a statement:

    “The U.S. Secret Service has no tolerance for any behavior that could potentially compromise the safety, privacy or trust of our protectees. This incident is under investigation and the employee involved has been placed on administrative leave with his clearance suspended and access to agency facilities and systems revoked.

    “The U.S. Secret Service has also issued an order for all personnel to retake the agency’s required anti-espionage training in order to ensure employees are aware of the threats posed by individuals aiming to exploit agency employees for information about our protective operations,” Quinn added.

    “The U.S. Secret Service has a 160-year-old tradition of discretion that sets this agency apart, and we have no tolerance for employees who fail to meet this standard. The U.S. Secret Service deeply apologizes to the Vance family for this violation of their trust and privacy. The faith our protectees place in this agency is not something the U.S. Secret Service takes lightly, and we are committed to taking the necessary actions to ensure that a similar breach of standards does not occur again,” the statement concluded.

    Undercover Footage Allegedly Shows Agent Sharing Sensitive Protection Details

    In a post on X, O’Keefe claimed undercover footage shows a USSS agent assigned to Vice President Vance’s protective detail sharing sensitive information with someone he believed was a romantic interest.

    According to O’Keefe, the agent discussed protective formations, shift schedules, travel movements and advance security procedures, and allegedly sent images while aboard Air Force Two. In the post, O’Keefe wrote that the agent was “recorded on hidden camera providing an undercover journalist with sensitive security information” and allegedly discussed “protective formations, shift schedules, travel plans, & real-time locations.”

    O’Keefe also claimed the employee shared information “sometimes days in advance” and acknowledged signing paperwork prohibiting disclosure of the privileged details.

    O’Keefe alleged the agent is a “holdover from the Biden administration” who holds anti-ICE and anti-Trump administration personal views—an accusation that, if substantiated, is likely to raise new scrutiny over internal culture and accountability inside an agency that is supposed to remain professional and nonpartisan.

    O’Keefe said his organization coordinated with the Secret Service before publication and redacted certain operational details at the agency’s request.

    Watch:

    A Serious Breach as Political Threats Surge

    The incident comes as political violence and targeted threats are becoming a grim reality for Republican leaders, including both President Trump and Vice President Vance.

    In recent weeks, the threats against Vance have not been theoretical. A federal judge ordered a Cincinnati man accused of vandalizing Vance’s home to remain jailed ahead of trial after prosecutors alleged he breached the property line and damaged windows and security systems.

    The Secret Service was also recently notified of a volunteer radio show host posting assassination threats against VP Vance on the left-wing website Bluesky.

    “It’s simple, we kill JD Vance,” said the person behind an account named hanslopez.bsky.social. The person identified themselves as a host of a radio show on WUML, which is funded by the University of Massachusetts at Lowell. The comment was made in response to another Bluesky user who claimed that, “JD VANCE THINKS BRITAIN & FRANCE ARE AMERICAS [sic] LIKELY ENEMIES.”

    When the school learned of the post, it contacted authorities, according to a statement provided to Fox News Digital.

    “UMass Lowell police promptly coordinated with the FBI, Secret Service and Haverhill police the same day to ensure an appropriate response,” the school said. “Contact was made with the individual in question, and the necessary assessments were conducted in collaboration with federal partners. Authorities confirmed there was no immediate threat.”

    More broadly, the Secret Service has faced increasing scrutiny since the assassination attempt against Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. A Senate Judiciary Committee release tied to a Grassley-requested report said the Secret Service received classified intelligence about a threat to Trump roughly 10 days before the rally—but failed to share it with law enforcement responsible for securing the event.

    That backdrop makes the alleged leak involving Vance’s detail even more alarming to critics, since protective operations depend heavily on secrecy, discipline, and strict compliance—not casual conversation or personal judgment calls.

    What Happens Next

    The Secret Service is tasked with protecting the president, vice president and other designated officials, operating under strict confidentiality rules governing operations.

    Officials have not provided a timeline for the investigation’s completion, and it remains unclear whether criminal charges could follow.

    End Of The Line: Trump Ramps Up Complaints About ‘Weak’ and ‘Ineffective’ Pam Bondi

    By

    Is it only a matter of time?

    President Donald Trump has privately expressed growing frustration with Attorney General Pam Bondi in recent weeks, according to a Wall Street Journal report published Monday, fueling renewed speculation about whether she could become the first Cabinet official replaced in his second term.

    The Journal reported that Trump has complained repeatedly to aides that Bondi has been “weak” and “ineffective” in carrying out his priorities at the Department of Justice. While Trump has continued to praise Bondi publicly, people familiar with internal discussions say his criticism behind the scenes has intensified as he presses the department to move more aggressively on investigations tied to his political and legal grievances.

    Bondi, a former Florida attorney general and longtime Trump ally, has been viewed by many inside and outside the administration as politically aligned with the president’s worldview and loyal to his agenda. Her close relationship with Trump dates back more than a decade, including her role as a prominent defender during his first impeachment and her work supporting his 2016 and 2020 campaigns. That history has made Trump’s apparent dissatisfaction all the more striking.

    One recent flashpoint came with Bondi’s handling of materials related to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. Bondi had publicly suggested that relevant files were “on her desk,” raising expectations among Trump’s supporters that long-sought disclosures were imminent. When the Justice Department later released binders that critics said contained largely irrelevant or already public information, backlash quickly spread across conservative media and among grassroots MAGA activists. The episode contributed to perceptions among some Trump allies that Bondi had overpromised and underdelivered.

    Trump’s frustrations, according to the Journal, are part of a broader effort to pressure the Justice Department to act more forcefully against figures he views as responsible for years of investigations into his conduct. The report noted that Trump has discussed appointing special counsels as a way to bypass what he sees as slow-moving or resistant leadership at DOJ. Chief among his complaints is Bondi’s failure, in his view, to pursue criminal cases against individuals such as former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

    Those grievances are not new. Last September, Trump inadvertently posted to Truth Social a message that appeared to be intended as a private communication to Bondi. Addressed to “Pam,” the post urged her to pursue legal action against Comey, Sen. Adam Schiff, and James, whom Trump accused of wrongdoing. “They’re all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done,” Trump wrote, adding that delays were damaging the administration’s “reputation and credibility.” The post was later deleted, and reporting indicated it had been meant as a direct message rather than a public statement.

    Despite his private complaints, Trump has continued to defend Bondi in public. In a statement included in the Journal’s report, Trump said, “Pam is doing an excellent job. She has been my friend for many years. Tremendous progress is being made against radical left lunatics who are good at only one thing, cheating in elections and the crimes they commit.”

    Still, some of Trump’s closest allies say patience among his supporters is wearing thin. Steve Bannon, a longtime adviser and influential voice in conservative media, told the Journal that Bondi is “bleeding support from her and President Trump’s most loyal troops.” “Folks are desperate for action and just haven’t seen it,” Bannon said.

    Trump’s dissatisfaction with his attorney general also fits a familiar pattern. During his first term, he frequently clashed with then–Attorney General Jeff Sessions, publicly criticizing him for recusing himself from the Russia investigation and accusing him of failing to use the Justice Department to defend the president. Trump has long bristled at institutional constraints within DOJ, arguing that they have been selectively enforced against him and his allies.
