In this April 1, 2025 interview on Newsmax2, GAI vice president Eric Eggers discussed the Trump administration’s tough stance on crime. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced charges against a Colorado man, Cooper Frederick, for firebombing a Tesla dealership.
David Harris Jr., host of the program “The Pulse,” noted that the DoJ will seek a 20-year sentence for a conviction. DoJ will also seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, who is accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in cold blood on a New York City street.
Eggers contrasts this with the Biden era’s leniency, noting Trump’s DoJ is targeting domestic terrorism and illegal gang members like an MS-13 leader deported to El Salvador. Eggers also critiqued the press portrayal of criminals as victims, and highlighted the shift in justice policy under Trump.
