President Donald Trump renews claims that the justice system is being “weaponized,” according to reports citing his latest remarks. The comments come as Trump remains in conflict with Republican Senator John Cornyn, described as holding out on legal or political efforts tied to Attorney General-related appointments. Multiple outlets say Trump is also reacting to Cornyn’s resistance to progress, including a broader Republican push aimed at stalling an Attorney General pick. Both reports frame the dispute within internal GOP tensions, with references to earlier actions involving Trump’s political opponents and legal representatives. The Yahoo UK News report links Trump’s renewed accusation to his continuing criticism of Cornyn, who is portrayed as resisting a strategy associated with the Attorney General selection process. The Independent similarly reports that Trump lashes out at Cornyn, presenting it as part of an ongoing effort to pressure holdouts within his party. Overall, the coverage centers on Trump’s recurring “weaponization” rhetoric and his tense relationship with Cornyn as GOP lawmakers debate whether to support or block steps tied to Attorney General confirmation.
