15:02Now PlayingIn this must-watch segment from The Jim Acosta Show, veteran Washington correspondent Scott MacFarlane joins Jim to break down the sudden, dramatic shift in the Senate Judiciary Committee.Just days ago, key Republican Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis were ready to completely block Donald Trump's personal lawyer from taking permanent control of the Department of Justice.
The major sticking point? A highly controversial, multi-billion dollar "anti-weaponization" slush fund intended to pay out Trump's political allies.But a late-night document change altered everything. Is the fund actually dead, or did the Senators just accept a massive political "fig leaf" that can be reversed the second the confirmation vote wraps up?
Acosta and MacFarlane expose what is really hidden inside the text immunity deals, the sudden internal bleeding of DOJ staff, and why this specific memo shatters decades of American legal norms.
