Pam Bondi told Just The News she has directed DOJ prosecutors to investigate alleged "lawfare" under the Obama and Biden administrations, which she calls an "ongoing criminal conspiracy" targeting Trump and his supporters. Bondi pointed to recent DOJ and FBI document releases as the basis for possible conspiracy charges and said much of the probe is focused in Florida, where Trump's home was searched in 2022. The reporting cites allies who have argued the 2016 Russia probe was a "hoax," and notes that no charges tied to these allegations had been announced at the time of the report.
Pam Bondi Says DOJ Is Probing Obama-Biden 'Lawfare' As An 'Ongoing Criminal Conspiracy'
Donald Trump and Pam Bondi
Pam Bondi said the Department of Justice has opened investigations into what she describes as "lawfare" carried out during the Obama and Biden administrations — conduct she called an "ongoing criminal conspiracy." Bondi made the comments in an interview with conservative outlet Just The News, saying she directed prosecutors to examine what she characterized as an "ongoing election-meddling conspiracy" that targeted former President Donald Trump and his supporters while protecting Democratic figures.
Bondi pointed to recent document releases from the DOJ and FBI to Congress as the foundation for further inquiries. She told the outlet those records, in her view, "laid the predicate for a conspiracy case." Editor-in-chief John Solomon wrote in the report that pursuing charges described as a "criminal conspiracy" can, in some legal approaches, treat the alleged misconduct as continuing conduct and thus affect the statute of limitations, similar to tactics used in organized-crime prosecutions.
Context and Allies
Kash Patel, a Trump ally and former Pentagon and White House aide, has long argued the 2016 Russia probe was a "hoax" and has predicted the Justice Department would investigate alleged "weaponization" of law enforcement. The reporting attributes this broader narrative — and the push for renewed scrutiny — to Bondi and allied commentators and officials.
"At my direction, our U.S. Attorneys and federal agents are actively investigating instances of government weaponization nationwide," Bondi told Just The News. "This is a ten-year stain on the country committed by high-ranking officials against the American people."
Bondi also accused the FBI of "shielding political figures like Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton while pursuing conservatives for their beliefs," saying some operations and legal processes were "excessive" and diverted attention from what she called public-safety threats such as the southern border and violent crime. "They went so far as to serve search warrants that their own Department and law enforcement officials believed were excessive," she said.
The report notes a significant portion of the probe is centered in Florida — the state where former President Trump's home was searched in 2022 — and that prosecutors are focused on whether internal decisions and investigative choices across administrations amount to coordinated, unlawful conduct. As of the report, no criminal charges tied to these allegations had been announced.
What To Watch
Readers should watch for formal charging decisions from the DOJ, public releases of investigative findings, and responses from officials accused or implicated by these inquiries. The claims as described reflect statements by Bondi and allied commentators; they remain subject to review and potential legal action as investigators continue work.
