Summary
Can DOJ survive Trump? On a new episode of Stay Tuned, Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative reporters Carol Leonnig and Aaron Davis join Preet Bharara to discuss their new book, Injustice: How Politics and Fear Vanquished America’s Justice Department. They speak about the politicization of DOJ under the Trump administration, how career DOJ staff are resisting or enabling the weaponization of law enforcement, and the erosion of public trust in the institution.
Then, Preet answers listener questions about the DOJ’s response to former FBI Director Jim Comey’s motions to dismiss his criminal charges.
In the bonus for Insiders, Preet, Carol, and Aaron discuss the pressure that Trump administration leaders are putting on DOJ prosecutors to pursue politically motivated cases against Trump’s rivals, including Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
