•Would Justice Department and FBI officials carry out Trump’s prosecutions of his rivals?
66% Informative
Trump has called for the prosecution of at least 16 politicians, 15 law enforcement, military and intelligence officials.
NBC News interviewed multiple current and former Justice Department and FBI officials, as well as legal experts.
Experts say what Trump is proposing would shatter 50 years of post-Watergate norms.
Those who resist going along with investigations would face enormous pressure.
A draft list of a dozen people whom Trump might nominate as attorney general included U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon , ABC News reported.
Another name on the list of potential attorney generals was Jeffrey Clark , a mid-level Justice Department official who backed Trump ’s false claims of 2020 election fraud.
Another option is to appoint a series of acting attorneys general who wouldn’t need Senate confirmation.
Former Justice Department and FBI officials say it’s hard to envision that U.S. law enforcement wouldn’t be severely hampered by what would be likely to ensue in a second Trump administration.
“You go in and just whack a good portion of the workforce,” one former official says.
