I don't like getting into politics but Correction: the DOJ abused Trump. If you hate Trump, that's fine, but that's a different discussion.

JFK very much disliked how the CIA had it's own secret wars and operations without presidential approval or even knowledge of their existence. Trump, for all the things he did that were "rebellious", was smart to have his own private security detail.

JFK's assassination was the original fake news.

Did JFK dislike it as much as Diem did?
As much as I’d like to avoid politics myself ;), I’m afraid we just gotta agree to disagree on your premise. my friend.

I hate nobody, but I am bothered greatly by those who seek to weaken their own country by selling its secrets to others — for their own personal profit.

That Trump and members of his administration remain free, despite openly doing just that on numerous occasions, would seem to undermine your belief that the DOJ did anything other than ask Trump “how high?”.

So, Correction: no, they did not :)
