YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Justice Department dropped its criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell today while simultaneously reinstating firing squads, electrocution and gas asphyxiation as federal execution methods — and Preet Bharara, former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, joins Jim Acosta live tonight to break down what both moves reveal about how Trump is using the DOJ as a political weapon. Bharara also weighs in on Acting AG Todd Blanche's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, the botched release that got Pam Bondi fired, and whether the Justice Department under Trump has any independence left.

Plus Katie Couric on Trump attending the White House Correspondents Dinner, the Paramount, WBD, CNN merger, and what it all means for press freedom in America.
