Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News’ “Hannity” on Friday that the “weaponization” of the legal system has “ended” following the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey.
The Justice Department announced Thursday that Comey faces one count of making a false statement within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch and one count of obstruction of a congressional investigation.
Fox host Sean Hannity, while reviewing the legal hurdles former President Donald Trump has faced, said he was “nervous for the country.”
“You shouldn’t be nervous any longer because Donald Trump is in office, and the weaponization has ended. We’ve made that very clear,” Bondi said.
“Whether you’re a former FBI director, whether you’re a former head of an intel community, whether you are a current state or local elected official, whether you’re a billionaire funding organizations to try to keep Donald Trump out of office. Everything is on the table,” she continued.
“We will investigate you, and we will end the weaponization,” Bondi added. “No longer will there be a two-tier system of justice. We are working hand-in-hand — [FBI] Director [Kash] Patel and I [with] Todd Blanche, with our incredible intel community [Director of National Intelligence] Tulsi Gabbard [and] [CIA Director] John Radcliffe, going non-stop around the clock. People will be held accountable.”
Since Trump’s first term, the former president has faced legal battles, from the Russia collusion probe to the FBI’s raid on his Florida home in 2022. Trump has repeatedly said Democrats used the legal system to target him.
The indictment of Comey followed reports that the Justice Department planned to ask a grand jury to bring charges related to his testimony before Congress in September 2020.
The indictment says Comey falsely told lawmakers he “did not authorize someone at the FBI to be an anonymous source.”
