Trump’s pressure on Pam Bondi and the DOJ

As soon as he lost the presidential election in 2020, Donald Trump vowed he would go after his perceived political opponents. Now that he’s president again, he’s escalated his calls for criminal charges to be brought against some of those people — New York Attorney General Letitia James, former FBI director James B. Comey, and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-California). He claimed that all three were “guilty as hell;” all three have denied wrongdoing. Earlier, a U.S. attorney general resigned under White House pressure after declining to seek indictments against Comey and James. Host Elahe Izadi speaks with reporter Jeremy Roebuck about the orders by the president and what they could mean for the future of law enforcement.Today’s show was produced by Laura Benshoff and Sabby Robinson.
