Ending The Weaponization Of The Federal Government

Presidential Action January 20, 2025 Document 481

Summary

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order aimed at ending the alleged weaponization of federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies by the previous administration. The order mandates a thorough review by the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence to identify any misconduct over the past four years, focusing on actions perceived as politically motivated rather than justice-oriented. This move could have significant legal and political implications, as it calls for accountability and corrective measures, potentially reshaping how federal agencies operate and interact with political entities.
