3 days ago — The Department of Justice has dropped more than 23,000 criminal cases since Trump returned to office, including 11,000 within the same month
in office alone, according to a sweeping analysis from ProPublica.
While the Department of Justice retreated from thousands of cases — from drug trafficking and terrorism to fraud, money laundering and white-collar crimes — federal prosecutors launched 32,000 new immigration-related cases, nearly triple the amount pursued under Joe Biden’s administration, the investigation found.
Among the cases shut down by Trump’s Justice Department were investigations into alleged cryptocurrency fraudsters, nursing homes accused of patient abuse, and nearly 1,000 cases concerning fraud and abuse of federal programs and federal contracts despite pledges from Trump and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency.
