If you missed President Trump’s press conference at the DOJ today, allow me to bring you up to speed, because it was a great one!

First let me give you some of my favorite clips and then I’ll give you the full video.

And I have to start right here….

“I promised my wife I would never use a bad word… just a little bad – the case against me was bullshit!” Trump said to applause.

Trump praised Judge Cannon for dismissing the bogus case: “And she correctly dismissed it.”

Longer clip here:

WOW. Trump just laid it all out at the DOJ. Greatest comeback EVER.

“They spied on my campaign, launched one hoax and disinformation operation after another, broke the law, persecuted my family, staff and supporters; raided my home at Mar-a-Lago; and did everything in their power to prevent me from becoming the President of the United States.”

“But in the end, the thugs failed, and the truth won. Freedom won, justice won, the democracy one, and the American people won.”

“They ripped down [everything] – it’s incalculable. Bur what you’re gonna build up will break all sorts of records.”

And my favorite moment right here:

What a time to be alive indeed!

FULL TRANSCRIPT:

please welcome attorney general Pamela Bondi. Hi, please be seated. Welcome to the Department of Justice, and I love our team—Todd Blanch, Amel Boovie, Cash Patel, soon-to-be Terry Gaddy Calta. Thank you all; we are going to fight to keep America safe again.

President Trump: Again, President Trump has prioritized tackling our nation’s fentanyl crisis, and he has taken decisive action to fight it. I want to thank our U.S. Attorneys who are here today, our State Attorneys General from all around the country—I see all my friends out there, my colleagues who will work to prosecute violent criminals, get the drugs off our streets, get the gangs off our streets, and get the illegal aliens out of our country. Thank you to all of our federal, state, and local law enforcement officers who are here today, who keep us safe every day and night. Thank you to all of you.

Today, we have with us one of the most effective drug-seizing teams in the entire country. I said, “I wish I had told them earlier: take them and put them in every major city in the country.” Since January, they have saved millions of lives by taking drugs and illegal weapons off the streets of Boston. And Todd, they asked us for more U.S. Attorneys—I told them, “We’re on it.” Could you all please stand? This is Boston’s DEA Strike Team.

Thank you, all. We also have two Angel Moms here today. One lost her son—he was 15; he thought he was taking a Percocet at school, and it was laced with fentanyl. He was beautiful, and I’m so sorry. But all of these people in this room, thanks to the directive of Donald Trump, are going to keep our state, our streets safe, and protect our kids.

Thank you for being here. And Tammy’s beautiful daughter, Kayla, was murdered violently by an illegal alien from El Salvador, who should not have been in our country. Thanks to Donald Trump, they will all be deported very soon, thanks to his work in Homeland Security. And I say, the unsung hero—Steven Miller on stage. We have, this is 180 kilograms.

It represents—not real—a fentanyl. Okay, so this represents one kilo of fentanyl in its pure form. One kilo can kill half a million people; 180 kilos in pure form could kill 90 million people—that is the population of California, Texas, and Florida. That’s what we’re dealing with in our country. That’s why Angel Moms go around the country, that’s why Donald Trump has taken such a hard stance against cartels, securing our borders, getting these gangs and drugs out of our country.

But look at that—180 kilos can kill three states in its pure form. That should terrify everyone. I see our Senators made it—did our Senators—thank you. However, taking the drugs off the streets is only half the battle. President Trump will secure our borders and will continue to fight the cartels throughout this country.

Deport them all or lock them up for the rest of their lives, thanks to our prosecutors around this country—where they belong. Under the last Administration, cartel criminals freely walked in and out of our country with impunity. No longer, under Donald Trump, they live in fear—and they better live in fear, because we’re coming after all of them. I am so proud to have a team with Amel, Todd, and all of our great team, and we all work for the greatest president in the history of our country. We are so proud to work at the directive of Donald Trump.

It is—he will never stop fighting for us, and we will never stop fighting for him and for our country. It is an honor to welcome the 45th and the 46th President of the United States: Donald Trump.

Well, thank you very much. Thank you, thank you, Pam, very much. What a job you’re doing, and it’s a true honor to be with you today in this very storied hall—if there ever was one. Based on the crowd, I think we broke the all-time record. But as we begin a proud new chapter in the chronicles of American justice, it is really something—we’re turning the page on four long years of corruption, weaponization, and surrender to violent criminals.

We are restoring fair, equal, and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law—and you are the people that are doing it. I am very, very proud of all of you. Under the Trump Administration, the DOJ and the FBI will once again become the premier crime-fighting agencies on the face of the Earth. People ask me what I’m going to do about law enforcement all the time—the fake news back there; they’re asking me that all the time: “What are you going to do, and when are you going to do it?” And I answer them by saying, “I’ve already done most of it by appointing the people that I’ve appointed—they’re sitting right here—they’ve done most of it.”

I don’t do it; they do it. Right, Pam? I think, oh, you are so tough—they just don’t know it yet. Let me begin by congratulating the incredible people who will lead these historic reforms. We start with somebody that you just saw—Pam Bondi.

She’s extraordinary, and I’ve known her very well for a long time. I watched her for years in Florida—and, although she seems so young, she’s highly experienced. I can tell you she was a phenomenal Attorney General in Florida, and she’s going to do a really amazing job. Also, our new director of the FBI, Cash Patel—right, a man that I’m very proud of. I’ve known him and Amel for a long time under tremendous pressure.

I saw these guys under some of the most corrupt judges—it’s not even imaginable how corrupt they were—and these guys never wilted. They never, they would not shy—they fought, they weren’t afraid, and they were brilliant. Deputy Attorney General Blanch and Principal Associate Deputy Attorney Amel B.—thank you both, very great people. They’re great people. The Chief of Staff, who’s so highly respected—Chad Miselle.

Thank you, Chad. Thank you, Chad. Our next Administrator of the DEA: Terry Cole. Terry, thank you—good luck; you’re going to do great. Senior Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights—boy, I’ve been watching him on television the last couple of weeks.

He is really a tough one, and he’s a great one. Leo Terrell—you watch how good he’s going to be; he’s going to be so good. Thank you, Leo—great guy. Assistant Attorney General of the Anti-Rust Division, who’s got an incredible reputation—she’ll do very, very well: Gail Slater. Thank you, Gail—good luck, great job.

We’re joined by many, many great friends and terrific friends—and I won’t be able to name too many—but some that I just see very quickly: General Flynn—thank you for being here. There’s a man who went through hell, by the way—and he shouldn’t have; he’s a patriot, he went through hell. We’re also pleased to be joined by Senator Chuck Grassley and House Majority Whip—hi, CH House Majority Whip Tom Emmer. Tom, great job—you’re doing representative work. Guy Rashan Ther—one of the toughest names to say, but I got it perfectly, I think.

And State Attorney General Ken Paxton—thank you very much. Thank you very much. Somebody who was with us early on, and she’s really become a big star and very popular: Brena Bird. Thank you, Brena. Thank you very much—Steve Marshall, Alan Wilson, James Aurm, Chris Carr, Dave Sunday, Marty Jackley, as well as White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

What a man—Stephen has become a big star. Steve Miller has been something very special for generations. The Federal Department of Justice was one of America’s most revered institutions. The men and women of the DOJ brought down the mafia, hunted down the killers, kingpins, and spies, tracked down terrorists and traitors, and tore down corrupt political machines all across America. This department commanded the respect and admiration of the entire world.

And with Pam, Cash, all of the people I introduced, and many more, and all of you sitting back there—I recognize so many of you. But with you leading the way, it will soon be the most admired and most respected of all. You’re going to be more respected, and I really believe that—even though there are a lot of problems to solve—that’s going to put you in the upper tier, maybe the top tier, and I believe that’s going to happen. So, I’m proud of the people in this room. But first, we must be honest about the lies and abuses that have occurred within these walls.

Unfortunately, in recent years a corrupt group of hacks and radicals within the ranks of the American government obliterated the trust and goodwill built up over generations. They weaponized the vast powers of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies to try and thwart the will of the American people. You remember the 51 intelligence agents, as an example, that said Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell came from Russia—when they knew it came right from his bedroom. They knew it was a big lie, and they knew it so well. They spied on my campaign, launched one hoax and disinformation operation after another.

They broke the law on a colossal scale—persecuted my family, staff, and supporters, raided my home Mar-a-Lago, and did everything within their power to prevent me from becoming the President of the United States, with the help of radicals like Mark Elias, Mark Pomerance, and others. These are people that nobody’s ever seen anything like—they were bad people, really bad people. They tried to turn America into a corrupt, communist, third-world country. But in the end, the thugs failed, and the truth won; freedom won, justice won, democracy won, and above all, the American people won. There could be no more heinous betrayal of American values than to use the law to terrorize the innocent and reward the wicked—and that’s what they were doing on a level that’s never been seen before.

And it’s exactly what you saw with Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and their cronies. They built the last four years on ripping down what had been built—it’s incalculable. But what you’re going to build up is something that will break all sorts of records. They set loose violent criminals while targeting patriotic parents at school board meetings. They dropped charges against Antifa and Hamas supporters while labeling traditional Catholics as domestic terrorists.

The Catholics—we did very well with the Catholic vote, so I want to thank them for that. They imported illegal alien murderers, drug dealers, and child predators from all over the world into our country, while putting elderly Christians and pro-life activists on trial for singing hymns and for saying prayers. They even went to jail for that. Our predecessors turned this Department of Justice into the Department of Injustice. But I stand before you today to declare that those days are over—and they are never coming back.

Now, as the chief law enforcement officer in our country, I will insist upon and demand full and complete accountability for the wrongs and abuses that have occurred. The American people have given us a mandate—a mandate like few people thought possible. We won every single swing state; we won the popular vote by millions. Millions of people—we won 2,750 districts. Think of that: 2,750 districts compared to 55.

We want accountability at levels I don’t believe we have ever seen before. That’s the one where you see the map of the United States, and it’s all red—red for Republican, not for communist; red for Republican. They would have liked it to turn red for communists, but it didn’t work out that way. The American people have given us a mandate, and they’re demanding a far-reaching investigation into the corruption of our system. And that is exactly what Pam, Cash, and everyone else mentioned here—and not mentioned—is going to be doing.

We will expel the rogue actors and corrupt forces from our government. We will expose, very much expose, their egregious crimes and severe misconduct at levels you’ve never seen before—it’s going to be legendary. It will also be legendary for the people who are able to seek it out and bring justice. We will restore the scales of justice in America, and we will ensure that such abuses never happen again in our country. That’s why on day one I signed an executive order banning all government censorship and directing the removal of every bureaucrat who conspired to attack free speech and other American values.

My administration stripped the security clearances of the disgraced intelligence agents who lied about Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell. We revoked the clearances of Derang Jacksmith, Alvin Bragg, Leticia James, and the crooked law firms that aided their partisan persecutions. I went through state and city courts—the corruption is unbelievable. We also terminated the clearance of the Biden crime family and Joe Biden himself. He didn’t deserve it—in fact, he was essentially found guilty—but they said he was incompetent, and therefore let him go.

I said, “You know, I’d rather be convicted, Pam.” I think that that was not good. I said, “Please convict me—don’t say that.” I pardoned hundreds of political prisoners who had been grossly mistreated. We removed the senior FBI officials who misdirected resources to send SWAT teams after grandmothers and J6 hostages.

It was a great honor for me to fire—I’ll tell you this—it was a great honor to fire James Comey. A great, great honor—that was nothing; there was no better day. A lot of people said, “Oh, that’s too bad you did that,” and they said, “That’s going to be…” You know what? A year later, they said that actually saved the administration, because of the level of corrupt things that we learned after that. It turned out they were doing, in fact, really bad things.

He was a terrible person—did terrible things—and persecuted people under the guise of being an angel, but he wasn’t an angel. We created a brand-new DOJ task force on anti-Christian bias, and under Director Patel, we’re getting the FBI agents out of the headquarters in Washington, D.C., and back out on the streets in pursuit of dangerous criminals—where they belong and where they want to be. And, you know, you have that big FBI building—and it’s a very big building—and they were going to build an FBI headquarters three hours away in Maryland, a liberal state. But that has no bearing on what I’m about to say—we’re not going to let that happen.
