据一位知情人士透露，司法部官员预计将于周一开会，讨论如何重新启动被视为唐纳德·特朗普总统优先事项的调查——审查调查他的官员的行动。
帕姆·邦迪去年上任司法部长后不久，就成立了一个“武器化工作组”，审查拜登政府时期采取的执法行动，寻找她所说的“政治化司法”的例子。
她表示，该小组将重点调查前特别顾问杰克·史密斯及其团队对特朗普的调查；曼哈顿地方检察官阿尔文·布拉格和纽约州总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯；以及对2021年1月6日美国国会大厦袭击事件的任何“不当”调查。
但一年过去了，该小组尚未公开任何成果。
近几周，特朗普一直向司法部官员施压，要求他们在这些调查和其他调查中取得结果，最近还指责一批美国检察官未能推进他希望提起的案件。
据知情人士透露，该武器化工作组现在预计将开始每日开会，目标是在未来两个月内取得成果。
在担任司法部长期间，邦迪多次批评拜登政府存在所谓的政治武器化行为，同时联邦检察官对特朗普的政治对手提起了调查和起诉。
“我上任时有两个主要目标：结束司法武器化，让司法部回归打击暴力犯罪的核心使命，”邦迪在10月告诉议员们。
司法部发言人周日拒绝透露会议的具体细节，指出该机构不讨论正在进行的调查，但承认武器化工作组的工作仍在继续。
“司法部正在积极调查邦迪部长‘上任第一天备忘录’中概述的领域，”发言人表示。“武器化工作组正在努力恢复司法部的完整性，并正在利用整个机构的资源来实现这一目标。”
工作组目标
邦迪在特朗普发布题为“结束联邦政府武器化”的行政命令后，于去年2月成立了武器化工作组。
她上任第一天签署了一份备忘录，概述了该小组的目的，并发送给部门员工。
备忘录称，该小组将审查“过去四年美国所有行使民事或刑事执法权的部门和机构的活动”，并找出那些“旨在实现政治目标或其他不当目的”的做法。
备忘录概述了武器化工作组将审查的七个领域。除了特朗普相关案件外，该小组还需调查共和党人在拜登政府时期提出的其他问题，包括对天主教徒的歧视指控、拜登政府关于保护学校董事会成员免受家长威胁的备忘录、对告密者的保护，以及对反堕胎示威者的起诉。
该小组曾由埃德·马丁领导，他在参议院未能确认其担任华盛顿特区美国检察官后被任命为该职位。

该小组的工作与司法部对特朗普政治对手的个别起诉无关。
除了已被驳回的针对前FBI局长詹姆斯·科米和莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯的起诉外，在邦迪领导下，联邦检察官还对特朗普的前国家安全顾问约翰·博尔顿提起了起诉，并对美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔、美联储理事丽莎·库克、前中情局局长约翰·布伦南等人展开了刑事调查。
Justice Department expected to ramp up efforts to deliver on Trump’s ‘weaponization’ priorities

Justice Department officials are expected to meet Monday to discuss how to reenergize probes that are considered a top priority for President Donald Trump — reviewing the actions of officials who investigated him, according to a source familiar with the plan.
Almost immediately after Pam Bondi stepped into her role as attorney general last year, she established a “Weaponization Working Group” to review law enforcement actions taken under the Biden administration for any examples of what she described as “politicized justice.”
She said the group would focus on investigations into Trump conducted by former special counsel Jack Smith and his staff; Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James; and any “improper” investigations into the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
But after a year, the group has not produced anything publicly.
In recent weeks, Trump has been pressuring Justice Department officials for results in these and other investigations, recently admonishing a group of US attorneys for failing to deliver on cases he wants brought.
The Weaponization Working Group is now expected to start meeting daily with the goal of producing results in the next two months,according to the person familiar with the plan.
Throughout her time as attorney general, Bondi has repeatedly criticized the Biden administration for alleged political weaponization while, at the same time, federal prosecutors brought investigations and indictments against Trump’s political adversaries.
“I took office with two main goals: to end the weaponization of justice and return the department to its core mission of fighting violent crime,” Bondi told lawmakers in October.
A Justice Department spokesperson on Sunday declined to provide specifics around the meetings, noting the agency does not discuss ongoing investigations, but acknowledged the efforts of the Weaponization Working Group continue.
“The Justice Department is actively looking into the areas outlined in Attorney General Bondi’s Day One memo,” the spokesperson said. “The Weaponization Working Group is diligently working to restore integrity to the Department of Justice and is utilizing resources across the entire agency to fulfill this effort.”
Goals of the group
Bondi established the Working Weaponization Group last February after Trump issued an executive order titled “Ending the Weaponization of The Federal Government.”
She signed a memo outlining the purpose of the group that was sent to department employees on her first day on the job.
The memo stated the group will conduct a review of “the activities of all departments and agencies exercising civil or criminal enforcement authority of the United States over the last four years,” and work to find instances in which practices were “designed to achieve political objectives or other improper aims.”
The memo outlined seven areas that would be examined by the Weaponization Working Group. In addition to the Trump cases, it is tasked with looking at other issues that Republicans raised during the Biden administration, including allegations of discrimination against Catholics, a Biden-era memo about protecting school board members against threats from parents, protections for whistleblowers, and prosecutions against anti-abortion demonstrators.
The group was at one point led by Ed Martin, who was tapped for the position after the Senate failed to confirm him to be the US attorney for Washington, DC.

The group’s efforts are unrelated to the Department of Justice’s individual prosecutions of Trump’s political adversaries.
In addition to now-dismissed indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and Letitia James, federal prosecutors under Bondi have also brought an indictment against Trump’s ex-national security adviser John Bolton and opened criminal investigations into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, ex-CIA Director John Brennan and others.
