MAGA IS BACK! Trump Demands FBI Retain Records After Closing DEI Office, 'The Reason is CORRUPTION!'

posted by Hannity Staff - 1.17.25

According to a Just The News report, President-elect Donald Trump is demanding the FBI retain all documentation of its now-closed DEI office; “The reason is, CORRUPTION” Trump shared on TRUTH Social Thursday night.

“We demand that the FBI preserve and retain all records, documents, and information on the now closing DEI Office—Never should have been opened and, if it was, should have closed long ago. Why is it that they’re closing one day before the Inauguration of a new Administration? The reason is, CORRUPTION!” Trump posted.

From Just The News:

The FBI confirmed on Thursday that it had closed the office in December as it prepared for the incoming president’s return to the White House. The move also came after Republicans pushed other businesses to end their DEI practices in the wake of the Supreme Court’s ruling on affirmative action in colleges.

Trump claimed that the DEI office, which the FBI actually calls the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI), should never have been opened and alleged that it was closed before his return because of corruption within the bureau.

The confirmation of the office’s closure comes after Tennessee GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn wrote to FBI Director Christopher Wray earlier this month, claiming that the bureau’s DEI policies endangered Americans during the New Year’s terror attack in New Orleans.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise also blasted the FBI’s DEI efforts during a recent radio interview.

“Some of these agencies have gotten so wrapped up in the DEI movement,” Scalise told WWL Radio. “Call it wokeness, call it whatever you want. But … their main focus is on diversity and inclusion as opposed to security. And they’re two very different things. And we’ve got to get back to that core mission.”
