PAM BONDI
Attorney General
Confirmed February 4, 2025 — Fired April 2, 2026
TERMINATED
These are allegations based on real stories reported by reputable sources. No charges have been filed as of publishing. The depiction of the individuals behind bars is political satire and commentary.
COUNT 1 — DEPRIVATION OF RIGHTS UNDER COLOR OF LAW
18 U.S.C. § 242 — Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law
Attorney General Bondi directed or oversaw the prosecution of individuals identified as political adversaries of President Trump, including former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. President Trump publicly directed Bondi via social media to pursue these individuals, writing "JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!" A federal judge subsequently threw out the indictments against both Comey and James, finding that the prosecutor who brought them was unlawfully appointed. Using the power of the Justice Department to deprive citizens of their constitutional rights to due process and equal protection under the law, on the basis of political animus rather than legitimate criminal predication, violates this statute.
COUNT 2 — CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD THE UNITED STATES
18 U.S.C. § 371 — Conspiracy to Defraud the United States
DOJ leadership under Bondi, in coordination with White House "border czar" Tom Homan, orchestrated the dismissal of federal corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams in exchange for Adams' cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. A federal judge found the scheme so transparent that he dismissed the charges with prejudice — meaning they could never be refiled — to prevent their use as political leverage. Coordinating the corrupt use of prosecutorial power to extract political favors constitutes a conspiracy to impair the honest and impartial functioning of the Department of Justice.
COUNT 3 — OBSTRUCTION OF PROCEEDINGS
18 U.S.C. § 1505 — Obstruction of Proceedings Before Departments, Agencies, and Committees
Under Attorney General Bondi's direction, the Department of Justice gutted its Public Integrity Section — the unit responsible for prosecuting corruption by public officials — and disbanded the FBI's premier public corruption unit. The KleptoCapture Task Force targeting Russian kleptocrats was eliminated. Enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act was suspended. These actions occurred while active investigations and cases were pending, effectively obstructing ongoing proceedings.
COUNT 4 — OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE
18 U.S.C. § 1512 — Tampering with a Witness, Victim, or Informant
Career prosecutors who worked on January 6 cases and investigations of President Trump were systematically fired or reassigned. The top federal prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia, Erik Siebert, was removed after raising concerns about the evidentiary basis for politically directed prosecutions. Removing prosecutors to prevent them from exercising independent judgment or raising objections constitutes obstruction.
COUNT 5 — FIRING OF INSPECTORS GENERAL
5 U.S.C. App. § 3(b) — Inspector General Act
The Trump administration, with Bondi's DOJ providing legal cover, fired 17 Inspectors General in the first week of the term without providing the 30-day notice and case-specific justifications required by federal law. Inspectors General serve as independent watchdogs against exactly the type of conduct described in these charges.
COUNT 6 — ATTEMPTED RETALIATORY PROSECUTION OF MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
18 U.S.C. § 242 — Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law; 18 U.S.C. § 610 — Coercion of Political Activity
Under Bondi's direction, the Department of Justice attempted to obtain grand jury indictments against six sitting Democratic members of Congress — officials whom Trump had publicly labeled "traitors" and "seditionists" eligible for the death penalty. The grand jury declined to indict. Rep. Jamie Raskin told Bondi at a subsequent House Judiciary Committee hearing: "You turned the people's Department of Justice into Trump's instrument of revenge. Trump orders up prosecutions like pizza, and you deliver every time." Separately, the DOJ under Bondi has pursued investigations against multiple individuals Trump has publicly identified as personal enemies, including former FBI Director James Comey, California Sen. Adam Schiff, and former national security officials.
COUNT 7 — FAILURE TO ENFORCE FEDERAL LAW / AIDING EVASION OF STATUTE
50 U.S.C. — Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (PAFACA)
A federal lawsuit (filed March 2026) alleges that Bondi violated the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act by failing to investigate or enforce the statute after the Trump administration brokered a TikTok joint venture that retained ByteDance CEO Shou Chew on the board of TikTok U.S. with ongoing operational oversight of the platform's algorithm — a relationship PAFACA explicitly prohibits. The suit further alleges that Trump granted multiple extensions beyond the statutory maximum, and that Bondi, as the chief law enforcement officer responsible for enforcement, took no action.
