Trump's Attempted Destruction of the DOJ - Glenn Kirschner

[Rhiannon12866]

Here's Part 2 of my interview with ProPublica's Andy Kroll:

Donald Trump apparently thought it was a good idea to nominate Ed "Stop the Steal" Martin - a man who had never prosecuted so much as a traffic violation - to be the US Attorney for the District of Columbia, the top prosecutor in DC.

But after ProPublica investigative journalist Andy Kroll did a deep dive investigation, exposing Martin's unsuitability for the job, things changed in a hurry. On May 8, Sen. Dick Derbin came out forcefully against Martin'c nomination. Sen Derbin quoted a number of findings from Andy's ProPublica exposé. Within hours, Trump withdrew his nomination of Martin.

This is a tribute to the power of investigative journalism in this fight for American democracy.

Here is Part 2 of my interview with Andy Kroll, which we recorded just days before Martin's nomination went down in flames. - Glenn Kirschner - 05/11/2025.
