How the Trump Justice Department is targeting his perceived opponents

How the Trump Justice Department is targeting his perceived opponents

From the NPR podcast Consider This:

NPR senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro and NPR justice correspondent Carrie Johnson break down the latest in Justice Department news.
