Reporter Shuts Down Karoline Leavitt With Trump’s Own Words on DOJ

During a recent press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt encountered difficulty maintaining her poise while responding to questions regarding Donald Trump’s statements on the Department of Justice. Leavitt refuted the notion that Trump is engaged in a retribution campaign against his political adversaries, despite his social media claim that he anticipates his Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to pursue them.In response to a question about Trump's inaugural promise to refrain from weaponizing state power against political rivals, Leavitt, visibly perturbed, described the valid indictments facing Trump as political vendettas instigated by Joe Biden and the DOJ. She asserted, “The President is upholding his promise,” emphasizing a call for accountability from the DOJ.Leavitt's remarks drew significant attention on social media, with critics highlighting her apparent contradiction in accusing others of gaslighting while seemingly doing so herself, illustrating the complexities of the current political discourse.
