President Donald Trump on Saturday publicly called on his Justice Department to pursue charges against his political opponents, a move critics say further erodes the agency’s tradition of independence.

In a social media post directed at “Pam” — apparently Attorney General Pam Bondi — Trump expressed frustration over the lack of legal action against Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Both Schiff and James have been accused by Trump ally Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, of falsifying mortgage application documents, Agence France-Presse reported on Sunday.

Trump wrote on his Truth Social page:

Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, “same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, Leticia??? They’re all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done.” Then we almost put in a Democrat supported U.S. Attorney, in Virginia, with a really bad Republican past. A Woke RINO, who was never going to do his job. That’s why two of the worst Dem Senators PUSHED him so hard. He even lied to the media and said he quit, and that we had no case. No, I fired him, and there is a GREAT CASE, and many lawyers, and legal pundits, say so. Lindsey Halligan is a really good lawyer, and likes you, a lot. We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility. They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!
