Former President Donald Trump announced plans to sign an executive order aimed at ending what he describes as the 'weaponization' of the federal government. This initiative will involve a comprehensive investigation into the practices of federal agencies during the Biden administration, particularly focusing on what Trump claims are politically motivated actions against conservatives, Christians, and parents. In his statements, Trump emphasized that the 'vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of our Justice Department' will come to an end, asserting that the scales of justice will be rebalanced. The Attorney General is expected to lead the inquiry into these allegations of political persecution.
