Bondi Confirms ‘Criminal Conspiracy’ Probe Into Obama-Biden Lawfare

Attorney General Pam Bondi has confirmed that the Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into what she described as a decade-long “lawfare conspiracy” orchestrated during the Obama-Biden era to protect Democrats from accountability while targeting President Donald Trump and his supporters.

In written responses to Just the News while recovering from eye surgery, Bondi said prosecutors and federal agents are actively investigating the “weaponization of government” dating back to the 2016 Russia-collusion hoax and extending through subsequent election cycles. She characterized the probe as an ongoing conspiracy—a legal framing that allows investigators to pursue charges beyond normal statutes of limitation by treating each act of political targeting as part of a continuing criminal enterprise.

“At my direction, our U.S. Attorneys and federal agents are actively investigating instances of government weaponization nationwide,” Bondi said. “This is a ten-year stain on the country committed by high-ranking officials against the American people. Under President Trump, we are fixing the damage and delivering justice.”

Bondi said the Justice Department and FBI have released an unprecedented volume of records to Congress related to political bias and law-enforcement abuses, “far more than prior administrations,” and that the materials collectively form the predicate for the conspiracy case.

According to officials cited by Just the News, much of the active investigation is centered in Florida, where Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home was raided by federal agents in August 2022—an operation that Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel have repeatedly characterized as “excessive” and politically motivated.

Bondi said the newly unearthed evidence demonstrates that senior officials within the FBI and DOJ shielded figures such as Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton while aggressively pursuing conservatives under dubious legal pretenses.

“This evidence illustrates that the FBI shielded political figures like Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton while pursuing conservatives for their beliefs, using legal process and operations that were excessive,” Bondi said. “They went so far as to serve search warrants that their own Department and law-enforcement officials believed were excessive.”

She noted that internal records show some FBI agents questioned whether the Biden-era DOJ had sufficient probable cause to justify the 2022 search warrants executed against Trump and his associates.

Bondi said the new investigation would test the oft-invoked standard that “no one is above the law”—a phrase she said must now apply equally to those who weaponized the system for political ends.

“This Department of Justice takes government weaponization seriously. That means protecting civil liberties, preventing election interference, and holding bad actors accountable,” she said. “No one is above the law, even if they think they are.”

The Attorney General also singled out former CIA Director John Brennan, who has been subpoenaed by a Florida grand jury in connection with the case, accusing him of attempting to interfere with the judicial process.

“Public reports of a recent letter sent to Cecilia M. Altonaga, the Chief Judge of the Federal District of Florida, by John Brennan’s defense attorneys seeking judicial intervention in any legitimate grand jury investigation by the executive branch, shows these bad actors are clearly concerned about their liability,” Bondi said. “They want to preserve a two-tiered justice system—one for them and one for everyone else. No more.”

Bondi’s remarks come as FBI Director Kash Patel has directed his bureau to cooperate fully with prosecutors pursuing the case, calling it part of a broader pattern of “lawfare and election interference” that originated under former President Barack Obama and continued through the Biden administration.

If prosecutors can establish the continuity of the alleged conspiracy, it could open the door to criminal charges against former senior intelligence, DOJ, and campaign officials for actions that might otherwise be considered beyond the statute of limitations—a strategy more often used in prosecutions of organized-crime and cartel networks.

Bondi pledged that the Justice Department would deliver “real accountability” for what she called one of the most serious abuses of power in modern American history.
