Trump points to a growing list of those who see how unfair

The lawyer Mark Zaid has represented a wide range of complainants, both Republicans and Democrats, during multiple administrations. But it was his participation with the complainant in the center of the first case of political trial against President Trump that attracted the anger of the president.

While I was at a wedding last weekend, Mr. Zaid learned through An interview Mr. Trump gave the New York post that his Security authorization would be revokedA movement that could endanger its ability to represent officials working in classified matters. He has not yet received formal notification or explanation.

“I am doing the same thing I have done since the day I stepped on Washington, DC, 32 years ago,” Zaid said. “All I do is hold the administration responsible, whoever it is, Republican or Democrat, for illegal and ethical lapses.”

“It is more than obvious that Trump is fulfilling the promises he did and campaigned, that he would retaliate against those who did it wrong,” he added.

Zaid is in what has become a growing list of perceived enemies of President Trump. During the first month of his administration, Trump and his allies have carried out a campaign of revenge and compensation that has little analogous in the history of the United States.

He has retired the protective details of former colleagues. facing Iran’s death threats. He has revoked or threatened to revoke the security authorizations of President Biden, members of their administration and dozens of others. His administration has taken measures to Members target of the media seen as hostileTaked the ax to entire agencies perceived as too liberal and dismissed or investigated from the government Workers considered unfair.

When asked why he pursued the security authorizations of Mr. Biden and others, Trump was characteristically overwhelming.

“There are people who do not respect,” journalists recently told. “If there are people who think they were violating the law, they approached it, in previous years, we do it.”

The orientation of Mr. Trump of those who he sees as unfair is more intense and of great reach than anyone who preceded him in the history of the United States, says Nicole Hemmer, an associated professor of history at the University of Vanderbilt who studies the presidency. Other presidents, such as John Adams, have attacked the press. Some, such as Andrew Jackson, have investigated previous administrations, claiming that they were uprooting corruption. Richard M. Nixon’s inclination for chasing his enemies cost the White House.

But Mr. Trump’s efforts have extended beyond high profile and extended to the lowest government and media ranges.

• Your administration He fired the Inspector General For the United States Agency for International Development after issuing a critical report on the impact of administration’s freezing on foreign aid and movements to dismantle the agency.

• An official of the Superior Justice appointed by Mr. Trump said the department would investigate prosecutors who refused to dismiss corruption charges against Mayor Eric Adams in New York.

• Trump and his advisor Elon Musk have attacked journalists by name, with Mr. Musk Recently asking for the shot From a Wall Street Journal reporter who revealed that an employee of his cost reduction team had published racist comments.

• The White House has blocked Associated Press journalists of the Oval and Air Force One office because the cable service is using the name of the Gulf of Mexico, instead of Trump’s favorite term, Gulf de América, for the water body between the two countries.

Mrs. Hemmer pointed out that, unlike the previous presidents that were often braking by Congress or the Courts, Trump has largely inclined the legislative branch to his will and redone the stripes of the Federal Judiciary in friendly field.

“We are in some unknown waters,” said Hemmer. “It is the combination of the determined revenge approach, along with the useless use of the Executive Power that makes this particularly dangerous.”

Mr. Trump SERVICE PROTECTION TIRADO For three former officials who received as Desleal, former National Security Advisor John R. Bolton, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and a Pompeo Assistant Brian Hook, despite the fact that they are the objectives of the Iranian government.

In the direction of Mr. TrumpYour assistants have begun large -scale investigation in federal prosecutors and agents who investigated cases against the Pro-Trump rioters who assaulted the Capitol on January 6, 2021. And he said that he intends to strip the security authorizations of the prosecutors who already investigated him the lawyers who played in His two dismissed.

The White House did not respond to a request for comments. Your spokesman He said before That Trump’s “best compensation” is changing the country’s direction towards successful policies that benefit Americans.

The conservative groups, collecting Trump’s inclination for compensation, have recovered around the subject. A non -profit organization published the names and photos of more than 50 federal workers in what calls a “surveillance list” related to diversity, equity and inclusion, asking President Trump to fire them. Many of the objectives are Black workers in health agencies. Others, influential in right -wing circles, created their own lists of enemies before the elections, including one called a “Objective List” of Deep State urging Mr. Trump to take action.

“They gathered all kinds of lists that had all our names,” Zaid said. “Then they are just going through the list.”

One of those led by Mr. Trump is Norm Eisen, a former ambassador who worked with the Democrats of the House of Representatives in Trump’s first dismissal. Lawyer, Mr. Eisen now represents the FBI agents who worked in the January 6 investigation that are demanding the Department of Justice Block your public identification amid Trump’s scrutiny of your work.

Eisen is also part of a team of lawyers fighting Elon Musk, Mr. Trump’s ally, to recover confidential data from the Treasury Department.

He sees Mr. Trump’s actions against him as a sign that he is on the right path.

“I take it as a compliment with the hand, and it will encourage additional activity on me,” he said. “So get ready for many more demands.”
