Justice Department unease grows as Trump's threats get more blunt : NPR

President Trump is openly directing the Justice Department to investigate his political opponents, causing unease among department employees. This includes investigations into former FBI Director Jim Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and Senator Adam Schiff. The departure of a top federal prosecutor who refused to pursue charges Trump desired highlights the pressure. Critics argue this undermines the rule of law, while the White House defends it as restoring accountability. Experts warn this blatant interference jeopardizes the department's independence and ethical obligations, potentially facing legal challenges.
