"Mizelle said the group plans to investigate reports about lying to Congress, some of the things that happened with John Bolton, a couple other administration officials, things related to Arctic Frost and things related to other oversight documents where it appears that prior administrations weren't particularly truthful with the American people or members of Congress. I do wonder how much of this is tied directly to the president's publicly calling out Attorney General [Pam] Bondi admonishing her,"
"I don't think it's about that, Mizelle said. Listen, I think that these are people that the American people have had issues with. The American people have an issue with the political opponent using and weaponizing the Department of Justice to raid the home of a rival, to sift through personal effects of the rival, to drag them out in a very public spectacle. Does it not stand out to you that the president is exactly doing what this task force is intended to prevent?"
A Weaponization Working Group will meet daily to investigate alleged misconduct by prior administrations, including lying to Congress, incidents involving John Bolton and other officials, Arctic Frost, and oversight documents. The group frames its mission as holding officials accountable for untruthfulness to the American people and Congress. Concerns arose about whether the effort responds to presidential pressure on the Attorney General to pursue political opponents. Supporters emphasize accountability for improper DOJ use, lying to Congress or grand juries, and withholding evidence. The Mar-a-Lago search and the legal processes led by special prosecutors were referenced during the exchange.
