**Accountability for Political Persecution: Trump Moves to Clean House at DOJ**
In a powerful move reflecting the prevailing mindset among conservatives, President-elect Donald Trump is poised to take decisive action against Department of Justice (DOJ) officials who have relentlessly pursued politically motivated cases against him.
Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) has publicly called for the removal of all DOJ staff involved in the series of investigations targeting Trump, labeling these efforts as nothing short of political persecution.
During an appearance on NBC’s *Meet the Press*, Schmitt made it clear that the DOJ had been weaponized under President Joe Biden’s administration to undermine Trump's legitimacy and tarnish his reputation.
He referenced Biden’s chilling post-midterm declaration that Trump “would never be back in the White House,” attributing the revival of these cases directly to that statement.
“What we see here are zombie cases trying to resurrect something that the American people have rejected,” Schmitt asserted, emphasizing the need for accountability in the DOJ.
Trump, who has consistently positioned himself as a defender of the American people against government overreach, has indicated his intentions to reform the DOJ by removing those who participated in what he describes as unjust prosecutions.
The investigations, which revolved around Trump’s attempts to legally challenge the 2020 election results and allegations of mishandling classified information post-presidency, appear to be on the brink of collapse.
Just days after Trump’s electoral victory, the special counsel Jack Smith signaled a retreat by moving to drop these high-profile cases, citing constitutional protections for sitting presidents.
Smith’s unexpected decision came in the wake of mounting, unfavorable public sentiment regarding the politicization of the justice system and speculation about Trump’s return to power.
With the special counsel now suggesting he may seek to resume these prosecutions at a later date, Trump has made it clear that all options remain on the table, including the possibility of pursuing legal retribution against those who have pursued him.
In fact, Trump has selected Pam Bondi, a staunch ally and former Florida Attorney General, to lead the Justice Department — a signal of his intention to root out misconduct and corruption within its ranks.
Bondi herself has pledged to investigate those implicated in the previous administration’s attempts to undermine Trump, ensuring that the deep state will be held accountable for their actions.
As Trump prepares to reclaim the White House, the message is loud and clear: political retribution is on the horizon for those who abused their positions to pursue politically motivated attacks against him, reaffirming his commitment to restoring integrity and justice in the executive branch.
The incoming Trump administration is not just a return to power; it is a promise to champion the voices of everyday Americans and uphold their interests against a weaponized government.
