Is the Trump Administration Using Government Agencies For Personal Revenge?!

Tonight, we break down the latest developments in the Iran war as confusion continues around the ceasefire, the Strait of Hormuz, and what the administration’s actual strategy is supposed to be.

Then we turn to a series of legal and political battles raising major questions about power, accountability, and the state of American democracy. Donald Trump is again trying to avoid paying E. Jean Carroll, this time with help from a Justice Department argument now headed toward the courts. Meanwhile, the FBI raided the office of a Virginia lawmaker tied to a redistricting push, and Kash Patel is facing scrutiny after reports that the FBI is investigating The Atlantic.

The growing use of government power for political pressure, personal grievances, and revenge is beyond concerning.

So where is the line, and what happens when the institutions meant to protect democracy are increasingly used to destroy it?
