U.S. Department of Justice
U.S. federal executive branch
The Department of Justice is a federal executive agency whose official communications—press releases, statements, and policy announcements—reflect the priorities and decisions of the sitting administration. Under Trump's second term, the DOJ has operated as a close extension of White House policy, significantly departing from past norms of prosecutorial independence. Its public output represents official government positions, not independent journalism.
