She claims the president is seeking accountability for those who previously weaponized the DOJ, employing “therapy language” to deflect criticism. Leavitt defends Trump by stating that individuals like Adam Schiff, James Comey, and Letitia James, who pursued legal actions against him, are essentially in the wrong. This allows Trump to target these figures, who in MAGA’s view, are persecuting him unfairly.
