U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) recently appeared on Newsmax's program "Rob Schmitt Tonight" to discuss concerns regarding the FBI's investigation into what he terms the "Biden Era weaponization of the Justice Department." The conversation touched upon several issues, including allegations of censorship and efforts to restore public trust in government institutions.

During the interview, Senator Schmitt addressed the investigations involving John Brennan and James Comey. He stated, "There needs to be a real investigation into his efforts, and Comey’s efforts, to sabotage the Trump campaign," expressing concern about alleged espionage activities against former President Donald Trump.

Schmitt also discussed what he calls a Biden censorship campaign. He referred to a case involving Hunter Biden's laptop story as an example of misinformation attributed falsely as Russian disinformation. "This whole thing that went on for years to try to discredit Trump, I think all this stuff has to come to light now," Schmitt said.

In discussing how trust might be restored in the Justice Department, Schmitt highlighted challenges faced by individuals associated with MAGA or Trump's administration during their employment pursuits under the Biden administration. He remarked that these individuals are now in positions where they can help restore public trust: "What it is about is restoring the trust that was lost through the weaponization of government."

The interview offered insight into Senator Schmitt's perspective on recent political controversies and his views on accountability within government agencies.
