'Officials wondered if Trump’s public post to Bondi about targeting enemies was meant to be private: report'

"Some administration officials reportedly believed that a public message posted by President Donald Trump on social media — demanding the prosecution of his political opponents — was actually intended to be a private text message to Attorney General Pam Bondi."

"On Saturday night, Trump posted on Truth Social, addressing 'Pam' — presumably the attorney general — with a complaint that former FBI Director James Comey, Democratic Senator Adam Schiff, and New York Attorney General Letitia James hadn’t been prosecuted yet."

"The message Trump posted began: 'Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, 'same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam 'Shifty' Schiff, Leticia??? They're all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done.' "

"In the now-deleted message, Trump also complained that he had accidentally elevated a 'woke RINO' to U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia — referencing Erik Siebert — and pushed Bondi to appoint his former personal lawyer, Lindsey Halligan, to the role instead."

"Immediately after the message was posted publicly, social media users speculated that it was meant to be a private text. Politico’s senior legal affairs correspondent Kyle Cheney noted that the 'post that looks a lot like a DM,' and even Trump ally Laura Loomer admitted that the post 'appears to be a text message.' "
