DOGE v. DOJ
🔴 UPDATE: February 18, 2025
In a major shake-up at the Justice Department, Denise Cheung, a senior federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., has resigned after refusing to initiate a politically motivated investigation into a Biden-era government contract. According to reports, Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin—appointed under the Trump administration—ordered Cheung to convene a grand jury and freeze assets related to the contract, despite what she believed was a lack of legal justification.
🚨 Key Developments:
Cheung Refused to Comply with a Legally Dubious Order – The Trump-aligned DOJ leadership attempted to pressure Cheung into opening an investigation with no clear legal basis. When she refused, she was given an ultimatum: comply or resign.
Continued DOJ Purge – Cheung’s resignation is part of a larger pattern of career prosecutors being forced out, as Trump’s DOJ seeks to politicize investigations and target political adversaries.
Chilling Effect on Prosecutorial Integrity – Legal experts warn that these tactics mirror authoritarian playbooks, where the justice system is transformed into a political weapon rather than an impartial enforcer of the law.
🔍 Consequences:
DOJ’s Independence Further Erodes – The Justice Department is being stripped of career professionals unwilling to carry out politically driven prosecutions, leaving loyalists to enforce Trump’s agenda.
Weaponization of Federal Law Enforcement – With Merrick Garland gone, and Pam Bondi now running the DOJ, Trump’s allies are actively purging anyone who resists turning the Justice Department into a tool of political retaliation.
More Resignations Likely – This is only the latest sign that career prosecutors may continue to flee, further undermining the DOJ’s ability to function as an independent legal institution.
