So much corruption!

Trump Guts DOJ Corruption Unit, Shifting Cases to Political Appointees

What Happened: Trump has slashed the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section, which prosecutes public corruption cases, in half. Only a handful of employees remain, and its cases will now be handled by U.S. attorneys—many of whom are Trump appointees.

Why It Matters: This shifts corruption investigations from career prosecutors to political loyalists, highlighting that Trump is dismantling accountability and plans to use the DOJ to shield allies while targeting opponents.

🚨Trump’s DOJ Targets Ukraine Whistleblower Rep. Eugene Vindman

What Happened: Interim D.C. U.S. Attorney Ed Martin has demanded financial records from Rep. Eugene Vindman (D-VA) regarding his work supporting Ukraine. Vindman called the inquiry a “dangerous” intimidation tactic and part of Trump’s campaign of retaliation against critics. Martin has sent similar letters to other Democratic lawmakers and officials who have challenged Trump.

Why It Matters: The Justice Department is being weaponized to punish political opponents, particularly those involved in Trump’s past impeachments or who support Ukraine. A classic authoritarian tactic to silence dissent.
