In a powerful display of his determination to fix what is wrong with our government, President Trump called on the Department of Justice to initiate an extensive investigation into alleged corruption by Democrats, saying that it is far past time to uncover the systemic issues causing fraud, waste, and abuse within the federal government.
For context, speaking to the staff of the Department of Justice on March 14, 2025, President Trump said that winning the 2024 presidential election came with a “mandate” for a “far-reaching investigation” into corruption perpetrated by Democratic bureaucrats. In addition, the president described himself as the country’s “chief law enforcement officer,” demonstrating his commitment to upholding justice and rooting out corruption.
During his speech, President Trump said that following his win in the 2024 presidential race, America was “turning the page on four long years of corruption, weaponization, and surrender to Violent criminals,” adding that his administration would restore “fair, equal, and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law.”
Continuing, the president went on to describe U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi as “extraordinary,” adding that she is “highly experienced” and was “a phenomenal attorney general in Florida, and she’s going to do a really amazing job.” In addition, the president praised FBI Director Kash Patel, calling him “a man that I’m very proud of.”
Later in his speech, the president said that based on his presidential victory, he had been given a “mandate” by the American people to conduct “a far-reaching investigation” into “the corruption of our system,” adding, “We will expel the rogue actors and corrupt forces from our government. We will expose and very much expose their egregious crimes and severe misconduct of which was levels you’ve never seen anything like it. It’s going to be legendary.”
In addition, President Trump showed that he meant business by mentioning how he signed an executive order “banning all government censorship and directing the removal of every bureaucrat who conspired to attack free speech and many other things and values in America.” He added, “My administration stripped the security clearances of the disgraced intelligence agents who lied about Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell.”
Next, the president drew attention to how his administration had terminated the security clearances of “the Biden crime family and Joe Biden himself,” adding that Biden was “essentially found guilty, but they said he was incompetent and therefore, let’s not find him guilty, I guess. Nobody knows what that ruling was, but I didn’t want any part of it. I think I would have rather been found guilty than what they found with him.”

Concluding his speech, President Trump wished the DOJ personnel good luck and said that their work was going to be “an interesting journey,” adding, “It’s not going to be easy, but you’re going to win. You’re going to win, win, win and fight, fight, fight, and it’s going to end up being a tremendous result for this country.”
