Donald Trump made clear on Saturday evening that he is frustrated with his attorney general over her hesitance to bring politically-motivated criminal cases against a list of the president’s enemies, something the White House has been working to engineer on flimsy pretenses for months.

The president issued a Truth Social post on Saturday addressed to Pam Bondi, the U.S. attorney general, stating that he’d reviewed numerous reports from the Department of Justice apparently stating that no progress was being made on launching the prosecutions after criminal referrals were sent to Bondi’s team by William Pulte, an official at the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

In the post, which began “Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, ‘same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done,’” Trump assumes the guilt of Sen. Adam Schiff and others like Federal Reserve board member Lisa Cook, and demands that Bondi begin criminal prosecutions without “delay.”
