How Trump’s second term reshaped the Department of Justice
Nov. 20
President Trump’s second term has brought about a period of turmoil and controversy in the Justice Department. More than 200 career attorneys have been fired, and thousands have resigned.
Many attorneys who no longer work for the DOJ say they were asked to work on behalf of the president’s will, and punish his political enemies. The attorneys also allege that they were asked by the administration to direct criminal investigations that typically would not be lead by the White House.
Paul Charlton, former U.S. Attorney, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss how the role of the DOJ continues to change during Trump’s presidency.
