Trump's Aggressive Tactics Against Biden and Rivals in 2024 Election.

Conservatives with close ties to Donald Trump are promoting a legal rationale that would fundamentally change the way presidents interact with the Justice Department, erasing its independence from the president. They argue that U.S. presidents should not keep federal law enforcement at arm’s length but instead should treat the Justice Department no differently than any other cabinet agency. Trump's promise to appoint a special prosecutor to "go after" President Biden and his family if he's re-elected signals a second Trump term would fully jettison the post-Watergate norm of Justice Department independence.
