President Donald Trump delivered a controversial speech at the Department of Justice (DOJ), launching attacks on his political rivals, media organizations, and former DOJ officials. He accused past department leaders of turning the DOJ into a “Department of Injustice” and vowed to remove “corrupt forces” within the government. Trump also promised to release what he called a “legendary exposé” detailing alleged misconduct by his opponents.
During his remarks, Trump reiterated claims that the 2020 election was “rigged” and called for legal action against those he blames for his electoral loss. He also lashed out at media outlets like CNN and MSNBC, labeling them “corrupt” and suggesting they should face legal consequences for their negative coverage.
Trump addressed his own legal battles, dismissing the federal charges against him as politically motivated. He also referenced the assassination attempt he survived in July 2024, calling it a “miracle” and using it to emphasize his resilience against what he called “deep state attacks.”
Beyond his grievances, Trump reaffirmed his commitment to law and order, advocating for stricter immigration policies and harsher punishments for certain crimes, including the death penalty. His speech signaled a continued push to reshape the Justice Department and strengthen his influence ahead of the next election.
