October 25, 2025; 7am: The indictment is one of several brought on by the Department of Justice, which seemingly is targeting perceived political opponents of President Donald Trump. The case against James, specifically, is being sought by interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, a former member of President Trump’s legal team with no prosecutorial experience, who accused James of misleading a bank to secure favorable mortgage terms. Paul Butler and Sam Stein join The Weekend to discuss the DOJ's attempts at targeting political opponents.For more, follow us on social media:Bluesky: @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.socialInstagram: @theweekendmsnbcTikTok: @theweekendmsnbcTo listen to this show and other MSNBC podcasts without ads, sign up for MSNBC Premium on Apple Podcasts.
