US President Donald Trump has expressed his outrage at the media that criticizes him and his political opponents, and announced a continued purge of those who have offended him in the judiciary.

During the election campaign, Trump said the criminal case against him was a persecution planned by the Department of Justice of his predecessor, Joseph Biden.

"They spied on my campaign, launched a multitude of deceptions and disinformation operations," he said in a Justice Department speech that has been largely revised since his return to the White House.

Donald Trump has paid tribute to Judge Eileen Cannon, who overturned the case against him due to procedural flaws.

He then launched into a fierce diatribe against the media that criticizes him, accusing them of exerting "illegal" pressure on judges.

"That's real interference, in my opinion, and it should be illegal, it probably is," exclaimed the Republican billionaire who has made denouncing the media his trademark since entering the political arena.

Since Trump's return to the White House on January 20, many officials at the Department of Justice and the FBI, the federal police, have been fired or have resigned.

But he went further in his speech on Friday. "We will expel agents and corrupt forces from power," he assured, promising to "expose" their actions, but did not specify which ones.
