Pam Bondi tells ‘America’s Newsroom’ DOJ will root out ICE raid leakers
Attorney General Pam Bondi is pledging her full support for President Donald Trump’s efforts to combat government corruption, vowing to challenge what she describes as activist judges obstructing his administration’s agenda.
Speaking Wednesday on “America’s Newsroom,” Bondi criticized federal judges who have blocked Trump’s executive orders targeting government spending, particularly through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
“We have so many unelected judges who are trying to control government spending. And there is a clear separation of powers,” Bondi said. “What they’re doing to him [Elon Musk], to our country is outrageous. You know, people work their whole lives and pay taxes, yet they find out that they’ve been giving $2 million to Guatemala for sex changes. It’s outrageous. And it’s going to stop.”
President Trump’s executive actions, aimed at freezing billions in loans, grants, and financial assistance, have faced legal setbacks in courts across the country. Judges have also challenged federal buyouts offered to government employees. Trump claims these rulings are deliberate attempts to prevent his administration from addressing corruption within the government.
“We want to weed out the corruption. And it seems hard to believe that a judge could say, we don’t want you to do that,” Trump told reporters during a news briefing in the Oval Office. “So maybe we have to look at the judges, because that’s very serious.”
