Mikey Smith, the Deputy Political Editor at the Mirror, reports on the latest developments in the United States under the administration of Donald Trump. Recent events include a controversial message from Trump to Attorney General Pam Bondi, apparent restrictions on journalistic reporting by the Pentagon, and allegations involving Trump’s border czar, Tom Homen.
In a concerning move, Trump sent a message to Pam Bondi instructing her to target his political adversaries using the Department of Justice. The message, which was later deleted, accused several individuals, including former FBI director James Comey and Congressman Adam Schiff, of being “guilty as hell.” Trump’s actions have raised questions about potential misuse of power and interference in legal matters.
Additionally, allegations have surfaced involving Tom Homen, Trump’s border czar, who was reportedly caught on camera accepting a $50,000 bribe from undercover FBI agents. The investigation into these allegations was allegedly halted after Trump’s re-election, sparking concerns about corruption within the administration.
Furthermore, the Pentagon has imposed new rules on journalists covering the US military, requiring them to refrain from reporting on unauthorized information. Failure to comply may result in the revocation of press credentials, raising concerns about freedom of the press and transparency within the military.
As these developments unfold, it is evident that the Trump administration continues to face scrutiny and controversy.
