Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Banner Unfurled at Justice Department Headquarters
Caption: Trump Banner Unfurled at Justice Department Headquarters. A banner featuring Donald Trump was unfurled outside the U.S. Justice Department headquarters in Washington. The blue banner, displayed between two columns, carries the slogan “Make America Safe Again.” Similar banners bearing Trump’s image were previously placed on buildings including the Departments of Labor and Agriculture, as well as the U.S. Institute of Peace. In December, a board appointed by Trump voted to add his name to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Critics say the moves blur the line between political branding and traditionally independent government institutions. The Justice Department said it was “proud” to highlight its work at the president’s direction, according to NBC News. In 2023, former special counsel Jack Smith indicted Trump over classified documents and efforts to overturn the 2020 election result. After returning to office in 2025, Trump pardoned January 6 rioters, while Smith dropped the cases citing DOJ policy against prosecuting a sitting president.
