"We can’t delay any longer,” Trump [posted on Truth Social](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115239044548033727) in a message addressed to “Pam.” “\[I\]t’s killing our reputation and credibility. They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!” Trump specifically urged Bondi to prosecute California Sen. Adam Schiff, a Democrat, former FBI Director James Comey, and New York Attorney General Letitia James, all of whom led investigations into Trump, political or criminal. **Read more**: [_Pam Bondi Provokes MAGA Backlash With Threat to Prosecute ‘Hate Speech’_](https://time.com/7317709/pam-bondi-free-speech-charlie-kirk/) In the same post, Trump complained about Erik Siebert, the former U.S. attorney from the Eastern District of Virginia, whom Trump ousted last week after he told senior Justice officials that there was insufficient evidence to bring charges against James. Trump argued that Siebert was wrong and that there is a “great case.” Trump followed up by announcing the appointment of his personal attorney-turned White House aide, Lindsey Halligan, as Siebert's replacement. “Lindsey is a tough, smart, and loyal attorney, who has worked with me for a long time, including in the winning fight against the Weaponization of our Justice System by Crooked Joe Biden and the Radical Left Democrats, which she witnessed firsthand when she stood up for my rights during the Unconstitutional and UnAmerican raid on my home, Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida,” Trump wrote. The Eastern District of Virginia had opened an investigation into James for alleged mortgage fraud in relation to a home she purchased in 2023\. As New York's attorney general, James won a multi-million dollar judgment against the Trump Organization last year for civil fraud, something Trump has vowed retribution for in the past. When Siebert made it clear that there was no case against James, Trump attacked him publicly, telling reporters "I want him out." Seibert resigned soon after. The three people highlighted in Trump’s post have all investigated Trump in some manner. Schiff presided over Trump’s first impeachment trial, and [Comey](https://time.com/7285796/james-comey-86-47-trump-threat-investigation-instagram-post-fbi/), an Obama appointee who Trump fired as director in 2017 and has gone on to become one of Trump’s most vocal public critics, led the investigation into Trump’s potential ties to Russian operatives. Trump spoke briefly to reporters about the post on Saturday, stating that it was not meant to critique Bondi, but to urge his Attorney General to move with haste in prosecuting his political opponents. “If they’re not guilty, that’s fine. If they are guilty, or if they should be charged, they should be charged, and we have to do it now,” he said. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/7319161/trump-pam-bondi-letitia-james/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/7319161/trump-pam-bondi-letitia-james/"},"headline":"Trump Urges Pam Bondi to Prosecute His Political Opponents: 'Justice Must Be Served'","datePublished":"2025-09-21T14:09:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-11T00:17:45.955Z","description":"Trump called on Bondi to prosecute Democrat Adam Schiff, former FBI Director James Comey, and New York Attorney General Letitia James.","url":"https://time.com/7319161/trump-pam-bondi-letitia-james/","keywords":["Donald Trump","News","News Desk"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1dd48c5ecb08f84e/6988d0b2fb4eacd2a189257f/donald-trump-loyalty-pledge-fbi-challenges-nation.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rebecca Schneid","jobTitle":"Reporter","url":"https://time.com/author/rebecca-schneid/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1dd48c5ecb08f84e/6988d0b2fb4eacd2a189257f/donald-trump-loyalty-pledge-fbi-challenges-nation.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"donald-trump-loyalty-pledge-fbi-challenges-nation","caption":"donald-trump-loyalty-pledge-fbi-challenges-nation","creditText":"Andrew Harrer—Avalon/Zuma Press","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/7319161/trump-pam-bondi-letitia-james/","name":"Trump Urges Pam Bondi to Prosecute His Political Opponents: 'Justice Must Be Served'"}}]}] ```
