Trump's Second Term: A Targeted Pursuit of Political Rivals
Donald Trump has indicated plans to use federal agencies to target political rivals if re-elected, including President Joe Biden and others he accuses of corruption without evidence. This approach, reminiscent of authoritarian regimes, would mark a significant shift from the traditional independence of the Justice Department. Trump's allies are reportedly advocating for a more controlled Justice Department, potentially appointing figures like Jeffrey Clark to key positions. Trump's threats extend to various political figures and entities, suggesting a potential crackdown on dissent.
