White House defends Trump’s Justice Department actions, denying claims of political abuse amid ongoing corruption allegations.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended President Donald Trump against allegations of abusing power, saying he is restoring accountability at the Justice Department after past misuse by previous administrations. She denied claims the DOJ is being weaponized against political opponents, framing actions like firing prosecutors and pressuring officials as necessary corrections. Leavitt dismissed criticism as misleading, citing past prosecutions of Trump as evidence of political persecution. Reports persist about Trump targeting critics, including New York Attorney General Letitia James and entertainers Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel. Allegations against Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, involving bribery and a suppressed investigation, further fuel concerns about corruption and transparency within the administration.
