'Injustice' explores Trump's effort to politicize DOJ

Season 2025 Episode 308 | 8m 18s

In their new book, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalists Carol Leonnig and Aaron Davis offer an investigation into the unraveling of the U.S. Justice Department. They reveal how, under Donald Trump, the nation’s top law enforcement agency was transformed from an institution built to protect the rule of law into one pressured to protect the president. They joined Geoff Bennett to discuss "Injustice."
