This is yet another dent in U.S. democracy hammered in by Donald Trump. <\/p>\n
“President Donald Trump publicly vented at Attorney General Pam Bondi.., saying the lack of criminal charges against top adversaries was \u201ckilling our reputation and credibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t delay any longer,\u201d Trump posted on Truth Social in a message directed to \u201cPam.\u201d \u201cJUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!\u201d He specifically lamented the lack of criminal charges against Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, three of his most prominent political antagonists.”<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
“Trump capped his message to Bondi by accusing Democrats of impeaching him twice and indicting him five times \u201cover nothing.\u201d In 2023, Trump was charged in criminal cases that accused him of seeking to subvert the 2020 presidential election, corrupt Georgia\u2019s election process, hoard classified information at Mar-a-Lago after his first term and cover up a hush money payment scheme.<\/p>\n
Only the hush money case, brought by Manhattan prosecutors, reached a jury, which found Trump guilty of 34 felony counts. Two of the cases, brought by special counsel Jack Smith, were dropped after Trump won the 2024 election. And the Georgia case remains mired in pretrial dysfunction, with lead prosecutor Fani Willis recently disqualified over a conflict of interest.”<\/p>\n
