Just hours after being sworn in as Attorney General, Pam Bondi wasted no time initiating major reforms within the Department of Justice (DOJ).

In one of her first official actions, Bondi ordered an extensive review of the federal prosecution of President Donald Trump, signaling a broad effort to address what many conservatives have criticized as a politically motivated justice system.

On Wednesday, Bondi released a memo titled “Restoring the Integrity and Credibility of the Department of Justice,” outlining her administration’s plan to eliminate political bias in federal law enforcement and prosecutions.

She emphasized the necessity for immediate action, stating that the DOJ must “take immediate and overdue steps to restore integrity and credibility with the public.”

To oversee this initiative, Bondi announced the formation of a Weaponization Working Group, which will review the actions of federal agencies over the past four years.

Operating under the Office of the Attorney General, the group will work alongside multiple DOJ divisions to investigate whether prosecutorial power was used for political purposes rather than lawful enforcement.

Among the primary focuses of the Working Group are Special Counsel Jack Smith and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, both of whom played central roles in prosecuting Trump and his associates.

Bondi specifically highlighted Smith’s high-cost investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents, as well as Willis’ election-related prosecution in Georgia.

The directive also extends to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James, both of whom have pursued legal action against Trump’s business empire.

Bondi’s memo lists several areas of concern, including:

• Jack Smith’s Special Counsel Investigation: The group will review the $50 million spent targeting Trump and scrutinize the controversial raid on his Mar-a-Lago estate.
• Fani Willis and New York Prosecutors: A review of federal cooperation with state-level prosecutions that appeared politically motivated, including those led by Bragg and James.
• January 6 Investigations: An assessment of whether DOJ resources were improperly used to target individuals based on political affiliation rather than clear criminal conduct.
• Religious Discrimination: A probe into a 2023 FBI memo that suggested certain Catholic practices were linked to violent extremism, evaluating its origins and impact.
• Targeting of Parents at School Board Meetings: Bondi immediately rescinded a 2021 memo from former AG Merrick Garland that categorized parents protesting school policies as potential domestic threats.
• Pro-Life Activists and Whistleblowers: A review of whether pro-life activists were unfairly prosecuted under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, as well as potential DOJ retaliation against whistleblowers.

Bondi’s aggressive move aligns with President Trump’s recent executive order, “Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government,” which aims to roll back policies from the Biden-Harris administration that many conservatives argue were used to suppress political opponents.

Trump has frequently claimed that legal cases against him were politically orchestrated to hinder his political career, and Bondi’s directive appears to be a direct response to these concerns.

In her memo, Bondi stressed that the initiative is not meant as an attack on the DOJ itself but as a necessary measure to address misconduct.

She reassured DOJ employees that “no one who has acted with a righteous spirit and just intentions has any cause for concern.”

As Bondi takes charge, her review signals a shift in the Justice Department’s approach, focusing on holding accountable those who have allegedly used federal power for political purposes.

The newly formed Weaponization Working Group is expected to provide regular updates as it conducts its investigations, ensuring transparency in the process.

Bondi also took a few actions against sanctuary jurisdictions and their leaders:
