Summary
Attorney General Pam Bondi, a former foreign agent and Trump ally, has shut down the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force, which was established in 2017 to counter foreign election interference.
The move weakens enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, despite intelligence warnings that Russia and other adversaries are actively targeting U.S. elections.
Critics warn this decision leaves the country vulnerable to disinformation campaigns.
Former FBI officials have called the move “astounding,” signaling potential national security risks under the new administration.
There are dozens of obvious ways in which Trump and co destroy the government. However, what worries me even more is the things they destroy that are not immediately obvious. For instance, say they remove building construction code, and in 30 years we find out that every building constructed since the Trump government has a fatal construction flaw.
