Lawmakers decry Trump's pressure campaign on justice department to investigate his political opponents  live
"They're all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done, Trump wrote. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!"
"A Woke RINO, who was never going to do his job, Trump said of Siebert."
"Donald Trump, because he doesn't care about the facts all he cares about is the threat of imprisonment for his political enemies, so that it suppresses the speech of other people who might speak up is now going to put his own political loyalist in charge of that investigation."
"It is so very, very frightening and damaging to our republic, Schumer added."
President Trump publicly pressured Attorney General Pam Bondi to use the Department of Justice to investigate Letitia James, Adam Schiff, and James Comey. Trump criticized and said he fired U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert after Siebert said there was insufficient evidence to charge James with mortgage fraud. Trump called Siebert "A Woke RINO" and announced he would nominate Lindsey Halligan to replace him. Lawmakers across parties criticized the move as politicizing the justice system; Rand Paul warned against lawfare, Chuck Schumer warned it resembled a path to dictatorship, and Chris Murphy condemned Trump’s motives and appointment.
