Welcome back, listeners, to your weekly dive into the Department of Justice. This week’s top headline: Attorney General Pam Bondi’s fiery testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on February 11, where she slammed the prior administration’s weaponization of justice and touted Trump DOJ wins like a 20% nationwide drop in murders and 28% plunge in DC violent crime, thanks to 8,000 arrests, 800 illegal guns seized, and 16 missing kids recovered.

Bondi didn’t hold back, declaring, “Upholding the rule of law, going after the bad guys, and keeping Americans safe. The Trump Justice Department has restored the rule of law.” She highlighted ending FACE Act abuse against pro-life advocates, disbanding the social media censorship task force on day one, and launching probes into the Russia collusion hoax. Just this week, DOJ released over 3.5 million pages on the Epstein files per the Transparency Act, showing real accountability.

On the enforcement front, the new Division for National Fraud Enforcement, announced January 8 by President Trump and VP Vance, targets scams hitting federal programs and citizens. Meanwhile, May 2025’s White Collar Enforcement Plan shifted priorities to high-impact threats like Chinese money laundering for fentanyl, rewarding companies that self-disclose with leniency and slashing unnecessary corporate monitors—easing burdens on businesses while hitting national security risks hard. And on February 9, DOJ made unprecedented moves to enforce CFIUS divestments in court against Chinese threats.

For Americans, this means safer streets and protection from fraud; businesses get faster resolutions if they cooperate; states face less federal overreach but more immigration enforcement via Operation Take Back America. Internationally, it ramps up pressure on cartels and foreign adversaries.

Watch for FY 2026 budget cuts to some grants but boosts to Project Safe Neighborhoods. Citizens, report fraud or tips to the FBI—they’re listening.
