President Trump directed the Justice Department through social media to pursue legal action against political opponents. Attorney General Pam Bondi received public instructions to investigate California Senator Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James. Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte has accused both Democrats of document falsification regarding mortgage applications. Trump dismissed federal prosecutor Erik Siebert after the attorney declared insufficient evidence existed to charge James with mortgage fraud. White House aide Lindsey Halligan received an appointment to replace Siebert in the Eastern District of Virginia position.
Schiff led impeachment proceedings against Trump over Ukraine interference allegations. James pursued a civil fraud case claiming that Trump inflated his wealth for favorable terms. A state judge ordered Trump to pay $464 million before a court removed the penalty. Trump faces 34 felony convictions related to hush money and defamation penalties. Federal investigations concerning classified documents and election interference ended after the reelection.
