1. Justice Department and Intelligence Agency Scrutiny

1.1. Allegations of FBI Surveillance on Members of Congress

Reports based on a newly surfaced document allege that the FBI under the previous administration conducted surveillance on eight Republican senators [1]. One headline describes the alleged spying as “arguably worse than Watergate” [1]. The surveillance is reportedly linked to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the events of January 6, with his team said to have tracked the phone calls of the GOP senators [2]. These revelations have triggered renewed scrutiny of both Jack Smith and former FBI Director Chris Wray [3]. The Congressional response has been sharp, with Senator Josh Hawley described as “ballistic” during a hearing where he accused Democrats of denying the “weaponized” use of government to target conservatives [4].

1.1 Insurrection Act Threat Escalates Standoff Over Troop Deployments

The confrontation between the executive branch and state governments has reached a critical point, with President Trump now openly considering invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy U.S. military forces on American soil [1]. This dramatic escalation follows a series of swift legal defeats for the administration. After the White House ordered California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, a federal judge—appointed by President Trump himself—issued a “broader order barring any National Guard from relocating to Oregon” and criticized the administration for “missing the point” of her injunction [2].
