CNN —From his seaside Florida resort, Donald Trump is holding a casting call to fill the toughest job in Washington: attorney general.
Current and former Justice officials anticipate eventual departures in some parts of the department and employees being sidelined and forced out.
The Justice Department is also charged with defending administration actions in court, covering issues from health care to the environment to gun control.
“Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes,” he wrote in a Twitter post in July 2017.
Trump told Fox Business in 2020 that Barr should indict Obama, Biden and others because of the Russia investigation.
