How is Attorney General Jeff Sessions running the Justice Dept? (Sari Horwitz)

from TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent · host WBAI 99.5fm, New York City's Pacifica radio station

In an April 11 press conference in the border town of Nogales, Arizona, Attorney General Jeff Sessions proclaimed "we are living in a new era…the Trump era...the lawlessness, the abdication of the duty to enforce our immigration laws and the catch and release practices of old are over." But with nominees for deputy attorney general and associate attorney general (the second and third in the chain of command at the Department of Justice, respectively) still awaiting Senate confirmation and replacements for the 93 U.S. attorneys President Trump asked to resign still pending, will Sessions be able to implement the sweeping policy changes he is seeking at the Justice Department? In the 20th episode of TrumpWatch, host Jesse Lent discusses how the Justice Department has changed under the Trump administration with three-time Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Sari Horwitz of the Washington Post.
