   35 time convicted Felon, aducated rapist and convicted fraudster honored by   
   DOJ with a Mussolini-like Banner of his pudgy, deranged face.   Bondi's   
   digging her own grave deeper and deeper.   
      
   Large Trump banner hung at justice department headquarters   
      
   A large banner featuring Donald Trump's face was hung on the exterior of   
   justice department headquarters on Thursday in a physical display of the   
   president's efforts to exert power over the law enforcement agency that   
   once investigated him.   
      
   While Trump banners have been hung outside other agencies across   
   Washington, the decision to place one on the storied justice department   
   building amounted to a striking symbol of the erosion of the department's   
   tradition of independence from White House control.   
      
   The banner, hung between two columns on one corner of the building, says   
   "Make America Safe Again" – a slogan used by the administration to tout its   
   efforts to clamp down on illegal immigration and violent crime.   
      
   Pam Bondi, the attorney general, has postured herself as the president's   
   chief supporter and protector, eschewing the approach of predecessors who   
   sought to maintain an arms-length distance from the White House to protect   
   the impartiality of investigations and prosecutions.   
      
   Trump officials have rejected accusations that they have weaponized the   
   justice department for political purposes, saying the Biden administration   
   was the one that politicized law enforcement with two federal criminal   
   cases against Trump that were abandoned after he won the 2024 election.   
      
   The department in a statement on Thursday said it was proud to "celebrate   
   250 years of our great country and our historic work to make America safe   
   again at President Trump's direction".   
      
   The Trump administration has opened investigations into a number of the   
   president's perceived enemies, amplifying concerns that the agency is being   
   used to exact revenge on his political foes.   
      
   Federal prosecutors brought charges against New York attorney general   
   Letitia James and former FBI director James Comey that were later   
   dismissed, and separately sought to indict several Democratic lawmakers in   
   connection with a video in which they urged US military members to resist   
   "illegal orders".   
      
   The department is also investigating Fed chair Jerome Powell over   
   congressional testimony and Democratic Minnesota officials over whether   
   they obstructed federal immigration enforcement through public statements.
