Leavitt Dragged After Accidentally Telling The Truth About Trump's Dept. Of Justice

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made a verbal gaffe on Monday about the goal of Trump's Department of Justice—and critics roasted her for accidentally being honest.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was widely mocked after she accidentally told the truth about the goal of President Donald Trump's Department of Justice (DOJ).

Her Freudian slip occurred during Monday’s White House press briefing when she declared the following:


"We want to restore the Department of Justice to an institution that focuses on fighting law and order and crime and putting real criminals behind bars, not targeting Americans because of their religion or political speech."
"We saw that under the previous administration and it's unacceptable to this president."

You can hear what she said in the video below.

Leavitt clearly made a mistake when she confidently declared that the DOJ under Trump would focus on “fighting law and order” instead of “fighting for law and order.”

And as people pointed out, she really—whether she meant to or not—said all that needed to be said about the Trump administration.

Leavitt's remarks came after she was criticized after she claimed a judge's ruling blocking Trump's deportation of migrants had "no lawful basis."

The Trump administration was already gearing up for a legal battle over the Alien Enemies Act after Trump invoked it on Saturday, clearing the way for him to deport over 250 undocumented immigrants purportedly from Venezuela with little to no due process.

The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 has been invoked only three times in U.S. history—during the War of 1812 and World Wars I and II—granting the president extraordinary authority to detain or deport foreign nationals once the U.S. is formally at war. The law was last used to justify the internment of Japanese-American civilians during World War II.

U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg issued an order on Saturday to block the deportations, but DOJ attorneys informed him that two planes had already departed—one bound for El Salvador and the other for Honduras. Boasberg verbally instructed that the planes be turned around, but the directive was not followed.

Trump was later criticized for referring to Boasberg as "troublemaker and agitator" and calling for his impeachment.

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.
