Donald Trump has long promised retribution.
Since 2020,
he said he'd wage war against people he sees as enemies if he ever became president again.
Now he's back in the White House, and we're seeing what that looks like in action.
Over the weekend,
the president took to social media with marching orders for the Justice Department.
The word unprecedented gets thrown around a lot these days.
But last night, the president took an extraordinary step.
He publicly urged his attorney general, Pam Bondi, to go after his political adversaries.
He posted just last hour, quote, Pam,
I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that essentially same old story as last time.
I'll talk no action.
He called them, quote, guilty as hell.
And he complained, quote, we can't delay any longer.
I was watching all this unfold and.
I really wanted to understand what this all meant.
So I brought my colleague, Jeremy Robuck, into the studio.
He covers the Department of Justice at the post.
Jeremy says the actions the president has taken to get directly involved in how the DOJ prosecutes people goes beyond anything we've seen
since Watergate.
