President Donald Trump wasted no time in issuing two executive orders shortly after assuming office, instructing the Department of Justice and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to launch extensive investigations into what he perceives as Biden administration actions infringing on free speech and potentially misusing law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
These executive orders align with Trump's campaign promise to address what he considers inappropriate behavior by the Biden administration in targeting his allies and other conservatives through legal means.
Despite his accusations against the Biden administration, Trump himself has made clear his intentions to retaliate against his political adversaries. This sentiment is further reinforced by his selection of key administration personnel, indicating a continued focus on pursuing those he views as opponents.
One of the executive orders explicitly states, 'The American people have witnessed the previous administration engage in a systematic campaign against its perceived political opponents, weaponizing the legal force of numerous Federal law enforcement agencies and the Intelligence Community against those perceived political opponents in the form of investigations, prosecutions, civil enforcement actions, and other related actions.'
