Trump Plans Overhaul of DOJ Amid Election Fraud Investigations
Former President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to overhaul the Department of Justice (DOJ) by firing staff involved in investigations against him, particularly targeting prosecutors linked to Special Counsel Jack Smith. GOP Senator Eric Schmitt has vocalized support for this action, suggesting that all DOJ employees who worked on Trump’s cases should be dismissed immediately. Additionally, Trump is expected to direct the DOJ to investigate alleged irregularities surrounding the 2020 election. Critics, including legal experts, warn that such moves could be illegal and fundamentally undermine the rule of law. This development has sparked controversy and claims of a political witch hunt as Trump seeks to assemble teams focused on disproving the outcomes of the prior election.
