Senate to probe claims of Justice Dept. political meddling under Trump
CBSDec 24, 2022
The Facts
In a new book, former US Attorney Geoffrey Berman has claimed that, during his tenure in the Southern District of NY, he was repeatedly pressured by Justice Dept. (DOJ) officials to use his office to aid the Trump admin. politically.
As reported by The New York Times, which obtained an advance copy of "Holding the Line," Berman wrote that the DOJ "kept demanding that I use my office to aid them politically, and I kept declining."
The Spin
Left narrative
While Trump has accused the Biden administration of politicizing the DOJ, it's clear that this happened under Trump's watch. There is every indication that if Trump and the Republicans regain control of the White House, the weaponization of the DOJ will be even worse.
Pro-Trump narrative
How many times will anti-Trumpers hear about a new so-called "bombshell" allegation and still believe it? The left is continually attempting to smear Trump with every possible allegation and conspiracy. Each time such irrational allegations are made, though, Trump gains the upper hand.
