      >White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has lashed out at suggestions that Donald Trump is weaponizing the Justice Department, saying he was simply holding people accountable for trying to jail him.

      >Two days after Trump publicly vented at Attorney General Pam Bondi for not charging his opponents soon enough, Leavitt was confronted during her latest press briefing about the retribution campaign he has embarked on since coming to office.

      >Asked if the president was breaking his Inauguration Day pledge—that “never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents”—the press secretary doubled down.

      >White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt denied Tom Homan committed any wrongdoing and said he never accepted $50,000 in cash in response to reports that the border czar was being investigated for bribery but the Justice Department under Trump shut it down.

      >White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt hit out at suggestions Trump was weaponizing the justice department.

      >“It is not weaponizing the Department of Justice to demand accountability for those who weaponized the Department of Justice, and nobody knows what that looks like more than President Trump,” she said.

      >“We are not going to tolerate gaslighting from anyone in the media or from anyone on the other side who is trying to say that it’s the president who is weaponizing the DOJ.

      >“It was Joe Biden and his attorney general who weaponized the DOJ. Joe Biden abused this sacred American institution to go after his political opponent in an election year.”

      >Donald Trump on Inauguration Day, when he vowed that „never again never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents“.

      >Leavitt’s comments underscore the longstanding Republican view that Democrats embarked on a campaign to target the twice-impeached president, who was criminally indicted four times in the lead-up to the 2024 election.

      >Two of those indictments were made by Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, who charged Trump with trying to subvert the 2020 election and for mishandling classified documents.

      >Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis also indicted him for trying to overthrow the 2020 election results in Georgia.

      >And in New York, he was charged by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg—and later convicted by a unanimous jury—for paying hush money to cover up a sex scandal with porn star Stormy Daniels.

      >All the cases eventually died when the Supreme Court granted Trump presidential immunity, but Trump has always maintained that he was the victim of a political witch hunt designed to stop him from returning to office.

      Well that is what happens when you only got the job because youre a 7 at best.

      Holy shit, with everything else going on and Trump handling so much of his own comms, I almost forgot the press secretary existed. Wow, what a time to be alive.

      I’m starting to think that in Karoline Leavitt’s world, words don’t have the same meaning as here on Earth 1.

      If the case against Donald Trump was based on political weaponization release the fines for them and let the public decide. Let’s see the case on Jan 6th, fake electors, and the classified documents.

      But they won’t for the same reason they won’t release the Epstein files. Trump is a crook and is guilty, also he diddles kids.

      I am struggling to remember the last time that anything TACO Belle said would not be considered a „bonkers meltdown“ if it came out of the mouth of someone we expect to be connected to reality.

      I wish I could lie with a straight face like this professional bullshit artist.

      It’s interesting she gets meltdowns based on PUBLIC SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS from Trump.

    12. Marvin_Frommars on

      I decided to listen to that. Seriously how does anyone listen to this day in and day out? How do these reporters not lose their shit at being lied to their faces like this?

    13. AtticaBlue on

      Everyone in this regime has melted down so often that a puddle of wax the size and depth of the Grand Canyon has been generated. Not a fan of the smell though.

      This woman has to do so much damage control for Trump. Why would anyone sign up for this role.

      The thing that authoritarians hate more than anything is being challenged. Not only will they not be answering your question, but it is a problem that you even asked it.

      „…saying he was simply holding people accountable for trying to jail him.“

      Yes, that’s exactly what we’re talking about. That’s the evidence-free weaponization.

      “Bonkers meltdown” – boss, I’m tired of Daily Beast headlines.

      Leavitt is terrible, Turmp is the worst, but this kind of reporting doesn’t really help – it’s just clickbait’y

      I never thought I would say this in my life but, I miss Sean Spicer in that role. He was always good for a laugh because of the ridiculousness of it all. The lies he was covering up wasn’t as bad either. He had me on the floor laughing at him arguing with the press about the size of the crowd at Trump’s first inauguration. This broad is just sad.

      They’re all unqualified clowns. Republicans should be ashamed, if only they were capable.

    28. MovieGuyMike on

      Can we stop calling it bonkers and bizarre that this administration is authoritarian and their press secretary is a hostile liar?

      It’s us vs the system now…. Hats aren’t gonna save anyone in 10 years

      „We are not going to tolerate gaslighting from anyone“ she said, gaslighting everyone

      “Hold people accountable for trying to jail him”

      AKA WEAPONIZING IT FOR REVENGE you fucking donkey

    34. unaskthequestion on

      She said „The president has 100% confidence in Homan“.

      Kinda suspicious that he doesn’t have 1600% confidence in him.

      I’ve seen the term „bonkers“ in 4 separate articles in 2 days from The Daily Beast. It’s hard to take them seriously when the gravity of the news sounds like a clown’s stage name.
