From accusing a former president of treason and lashing out at a sitting senator, President Donald Trump’s weaponization of the federal government was on full display this week. Trump and his allies are now openly manipulating the bureaucracy to both enact retribution for long-term grievances and to move the newscycle beyond the burgeoning crisis over the Epstein documents.
Also in this edition, we look at how the Trump ally who heads a minor federal bureau has boosted the weaponization effort by instigating investigations against some of Trump’s top political enemies.
