The Weaponization of the Federal Government by The Trump Administration's Federal Agencies
-
About a week after NPR broke a story about documented proof contradicting the Trump Administration's justification for a $400 million contract with Tesla for Cybertrucks for the State Department (that amount equals approximately 5,000 Cybertrucks), the FCC started an investigation into NPR and PBS and their use of advertisements to raise funding. Now, I know this may just seem like a coincidence but the proof that NPR discovered contradicts claims by the State Department, run by Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, that the contract was negotiated during the Biden Administration. The document shows that the Biden administration had a $483 thousand contract for EV's, that's 800 times smaller than the Tesla contract. I'll attach the link to the articles.
The next example of weaponization is the use of the DOJ to dismiss the charges against the Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, for corruption and bribery. The Top Federal Prosecutor, Danielle Sassoon, a Trump appointee, said after the meeting with the acting U.S. Deputy Attorney General, Emil Bove, that the dropping of charges amounted to a quid pro quo. She resigned in protest. Please read the articles for more context.
