It's April 2, I'm Cory with the story, and this is U.S. News Today, your AI-powered national briefing. Acting Attorney General Todd Blantz just dropped a bombshell, saying every single Justice Department and FBI official tied to the criminal cases. Against President Trump is now gone. Over 200 DOJ staffers either quit, got fired or retired early before the new team even settled in. Blantz, who stepped up after Trump swapped out Pam Bondi, called this a full reset to bring back real impartial justice after years of straight-up. Politicization. He laid it out during a chat at the conservative political action conference, noting the same clean-up happened at the FBI under Director Cash Patel. No federal agent who touched those Trump probes is still packing heat on the job. Blantz, who defended Trump and key trials himself, pointed to the Russian investigation as the prime example of government weaponization that nearly tanked the president. Folks are buzzing about this shift, with many seeing it as Trump finally drawing a hard

line on partisan players in the executive branch. Past admins, even Republican ones, let it slide. But Blantz says voters flipped the script, and now it's clear if you work for the president, you, serve him, no games. State-level attacks from DA's like Alvin Bragg and Manhattan and Fanny Willis in Fulton County, got called out as peak left-wing overreach, too. On the windsfront, they've already pardoned or commuted sentences for all January 6 defendants by 5 p.m. on a inauguration day. Policies hitting Christian groups are reversed, second amendment protections are back strong. Most federal oversight on local cops is lifted, and they're hammering drug traffickers like narco terrorists. This overhaul signals a DOJ firing on all cylinders, working seven days a week to deliver more results in year one than any before, putting justice, back where belongs.
