Everything’s falling apart:

-DOJ jeopardizes Luigi Mangione murder case by reposting Trump’s rant.

-Greene blasts GOP over Epstein.

-Trump’s budget slashes rural hospitals.

-Pastor sues ICE after headshot.

-Comey case crumbles thanks to Trump.

The regime is rotting.

Justice Department lawyers reposted President Trump’s statements and may have inadvertently endangered their prosecution of Luigi Mangione, violating the judge’s explicit orders that DOJ employees refrain from public comment about the case. trib.al/e8Tnv6T

Luigi Mangione pushes back on DOJ claims that Pam Bondi is not covered by local rules on public statements by pointing out that she's the one who decided to go for the death penalty.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Despite this Court’s clear directives and assurances made to this Court, the government
nevertheless claims that the DOJ personnel who publicly commented on the case are “Department
of Justice employees who are not associated with this matter.” (Gov’t 10/8/25 Letter at 2.) This
position is factually inaccurate and inconsistent with the Court’s instruction explicitly directed at
the Attorney General and her subordinates.
2 There can be no doubt that the Attorney General of
the United States herself is “associated” with Mr. Mangione’s case, as the Attorney General is the
only individual in the DOJ authorized to seek the death penalty in any case.
Moreover, the Attorney General has publicly stated that she herself was involved in this
specific case as she publicly directed the Southern District of New York prosecutors to seek the
death penalty against Mr. Mangione in an April 1, 2025, press release.
3 The Attorney General
further explained her own reasons for doing so on April 6, 2025, stating the following on the Fox
News Channel:

Klippenstein: To what extent it’s going to activate what are called Joint Terrorism Task Forces?

The military is really limited in terms of what they can do.

But these Joint Terrorism Task Forces don’t have those limitations. They can do and go places the military can’t.
