Veterans of the Justice Department are raising concerns about a recurring trend they have noticed since President Trump took office. According to them, the department appears to be giving favorable treatment to individuals perceived as loyal to the president.
Recently, the Justice Department dismissed a case against former Nebraska Republican Congressman Jeff Fortenberry. Similarly, prosecutors in Nashville withdrew from an investigation involving Republican Congressman Andy Ogles, who had introduced legislation aimed at allowing Trump to seek a third term. Most notably, the department moved to drop charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams last Friday. Though Adams is a Democrat, he has expressed a willingness to collaborate with Trump on immigration policies, including deportations.
