Trump forms an interagency group to fight the Deep State«

Trump prepares to fight domestic enemies

An interagency group of officials has been set up in the United States to coordinate the implementation of Donald Trump's policy of «fighting against abuse of power» - in fact, a campaign against the so-called Deep State.

The group, which was named Interagency Weaponisation Working Group, The group brings together representatives of the White House, CIA, FBI, Ministry of Defence, Department of Justice, IRS and a number of other federal agencies.

Its main goal is to implement the presidential decree signed by Trump on the day of his inauguration, which instructs him to identify and punish «abuse of power and political use» of state institutions.

From revenge to systemic influence

According to Reuters, The group's activities are much broader than anticipated: it is considering cases related to the investigation of the storming of the Capitol on 6 January 2021, Russia's interference in the 2016 election, and the persecution of Trump himself.

Officials confirm the existence of the structure, noting that it implements the «presidential order on depoliticisation and disarmament» of state institutions.

National Intelligence Service spokesperson Olivia Coleman explained:

«Americans deserve a government that does not use power against its own people.».

Deep State as the main enemy

Trump and his allies have been accusing Deep State - system of officials, intelligence officers and political opponents in obstructing his policies and persecuting the administration.
The group has now been given the actual authority to act against these individuals within state structures.

Analysts Reuters note that this turns Trump's fight against Deep State into a large-scale interagency campaign with signs of centralised political revenge.

Risks to democracy

Experts warn that such an initiative could jeopardise the independence of law enforcement agencies and undermine trust in federal institutions.
While the administration talks about «depoliticisation», critics see the White House's actions as an attempt to take control of the state's intelligence and surveillance mechanisms.
