"US" or Trump? Pre-2025, the DoJ was quite independent. Since Trump assumed office again, it's been servile to Trump himself. Headlines should inform us of that. If it's Trump directing this, that's a total conflict of interest for him. | ||

There aren't any laws against conflict of interest by the President. It wouldn't stop him if there were, of course. But he doesn't even have to worry about some future independent counsel looking into it. The only brake on it would be the voters. They were told that this is what they'd get, and they voted for it anyway. | ||
