The FBI, under new leadership appointed by President Trump, has reportedly launched an investigation into former Director James Comey over alleged surveillance abuses during the 2016 election.
This move signals a broader effort to hold accountable those involved in what many conservatives see as politically motivated actions against Trump and his campaign.
The investigation focuses on the FBI’s role in monitoring Trump’s associates during the election, a practice long criticized as an overreach driven by partisan interests.
Many on the right have called for Comey and others to face consequences for what they view as an unjustified use of government power to undermine Trump’s presidency.
This development comes amid a sweeping overhaul of federal agencies under Trump’s administration.
More than a dozen DOJ officials tied to previous prosecutions against Trump have been dismissed, while figures aligned with the President’s vision are being installed in key positions.
Among them is Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and strong Trump supporter, who was appointed Deputy Director of the FBI. His leadership is expected to bring significant changes to the bureau.
Critics from the establishment and the left argue that these actions could politicize federal law enforcement.
However, Trump’s supporters believe the moves are necessary to root out corruption and restore fairness within institutions that have been weaponized against conservatives.
Concerns about foreign intelligence-sharing have been raised by some former officials, who claim Trump’s efforts could strain alliances.
Yet, many conservatives argue that prioritizing national security and internal accountability outweighs these concerns.
As the investigation into Comey unfolds, it highlights the broader battle over the integrity of federal agencies.
Trump’s administration appears determined to dismantle what it views as a biased deep state, setting the stage for significant reforms within law enforcement and intelligence communities.
