The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Wednesday outlined a list of its accomplishments during President Donald Trump’s first year in office, arguing that the agency has eliminated the political weaponization that existed under the Biden administration.
The DOJ claimed in a statement posted on Twitter that it had “turned around” the agency while restoring impartiality and law enforcement priorities.
“Instead of keeping Americans safe, the Biden DOJ weaponized its power against political adversaries: conservatives, parents, pro-lifers, Christians, and most of all, President Trump,” the DOJ said.
