Article III: Weaponization and Politicization of the Department of Justice

The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives shall have the sole Power of Impeachment and that civil Officers of the United States, including the Attorney General of the United States of America, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. In her conduct as Attorney General of the United States of America, Pamela Jo Bondi, in violation of her oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, to bear true faith and allegiance to the same, and to well and faithfully discharge the duties of her office, has willfully and systematically refused to comply with the law, in that— (1) On February 5, 2025, Pamela Jo Bondi established the Weaponization Working Group within the Department of Justice, which would conduct a review [of] the activities of all departments and agencies exercising civil or criminal enforcement authority of the United States over the last four years. Pamela Jo Bondi cites the weaponization by Special Counsel Jack Smith for targeting President Trump as a target of focus for the Weaponization Working Group. Jack Smith has testified under oath twice before Congress, most recently during his public testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on January 22, 2026, where he repeatedly defended his actions and stated that he expects the Department of Justice under Donald Trump to seek to indict him. Pamela Jo Bondi also listed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg [and] New York Attorney General Letitia James as targets for the Weaponization Working Group. (2) In May 2025, the Department of Justice opened a formal criminal investigation into Letitia James, the Attorney General of New York, for charges related to mortgage fraud. Letitia James had previously been successful in a civil fraud lawsuit against Donald Trump and the Trump Organization. Many speculated that the criminal investigation against Letitia James by the Department of Justice was retribution for her lawsuit against Trump. Ultimately, a judge dismissed the charges against Letitia James, who found that the interim United States attorney, Lindsey Halligan, was not lawfully appointed. (3) On May 19, 2025, the Department of Justice launched the Civil Rights Fraud Initiative, which targeted institutions, like public universities, for knowingly maintaining diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) programs. Universities such as Harvard, the University of California system, and others were targeted, and the Department of Justice alleged that they violated the False Claims Act. (4) On June 28, 2025, under the direction of Pamela Jo Bondi, the Department of Justice fired 3 Federal prosecutors who were involved in the January 6 criminal cases, including the case against Donald Trump. In July 2025, additional Department of Justice staff were dismissed from their positions for their work on the January 6 or other criminal cases related to Donald Trump. (5) On September 25, 2025, the Department of Justice indicted James Comey, former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, on charges of making false statements to Congress and obstruction of justice for his involvement in the investigation of Russia’s involvement in the 2016 elections. Ultimately, the charges against Comey were dismissed by the judge, who found that the interim United States attorney, Lindsey Halligan, was not lawfully appointed. (6) On January 10, 2026, the Department of Justice began a criminal investigation into Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, on charges of making false statements to Congress regarding the renovation project of the Federal Reserve Building. Jerome Powell, whom Donald Trump nominated during his first term as President to serve as Chairman of the Federal Reserve, has had numerous public disagreements with Trump regarding interest rates and the economy. On July 24, 2025, Donald Trump visited the Federal Reserve Building to observe the renovations and, during the visit, openly argued with Jerome Powell about the cost of the renovations and interest rates. Donald Trump has publicly stated that he would love to fire Jerome Powell, and has referred to him as a fool. (7) On January 23, 2026, Pamela Jo Bondi sent a letter to Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota, demanding Minnesota’s records on Medicaid and Nutrition Service programs, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the repeal of sanctuary policies, and allowing the Department of Justice to access voter records. In exchange, Pamela Jo Bondi alludes to ending Operation Metro Surge, the Department of Homeland Security’s deployment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers to Minnesota. (8) In February 2026, the Department of Justice sought to indict Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan, sitting Members of Congress, and Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin, sitting Senators, over charges related to a video they produced reaffirming the rights of servicemembers in the United States military to disobey unlawful orders. This blatant attempt by the Department of Justice to go after the free speech rights and to silence political opponents is deeply alarming, with a grand jury later declining to bring up charges against the lawmakers. In all of this, Pamela Jo Bondi has weaponized and politicized the Department of Justice, turning the highest law enforcement agency in the United States of America against its own people. In her role as the Attorney General of the United States of America, Pamela Jo Bondi has used her investigative powers to attempt to intimidate government officials and public institutions, as well as go after political opponents. Wherefore, Pamela Jo Bondi, by such conduct, has demonstrated that she is unfit to fulfill the duties of Attorney General of the United States of America impartially, and will remain a threat to the Constitution and the rule of law if allowed to remain in office. Pamela Jo Bondi thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.
