Former U.S. National Security Officials Demand Investigation into Trump's Alleged 'Weaponization' Efforts
Hundreds of former U.S. national security officials are calling for Congress to investigate an internal group coordinating President Trump's campaign against his perceived enemies. The group, known as the Interagency Weaponization Working Group, allegedly involves intelligence politicization and misuses U.S. security services, raising serious legal and ethical concerns.
A coalition of former U.S. national security officials is pushing for congressional scrutiny of an internal government group accused of orchestrating President Trump's campaign against his adversaries. This group, dubbed the Interagency Weaponization Working Group, is said to include members from critical intelligence and law enforcement agencies.
The Steady State, a rule-of-law advocacy organization representing over 340 former officers, has released a letter pressing Congress to evaluate the group's operations. Their concern stems from discoveries indicating a wider and more systematic deployment of government resources against Trump's perceived foes than previously disclosed.
According to a Reuters report, the controversial group discussed targeting figures like James Comey and Anthony Fauci, who opposed Trump's policies. However, some government officials dispute these claims. As this story unfolds, demands intensify for transparency and accountability in the use of intelligence for political purposes.
