Evidence only matters to this administration when it can be aimed at someone.
The Fed Chair withstood Trump’s public insults and threats to fire him, so the DOJ opened a criminal investigation into a building renovation he oversees. A newly unsealed transcript shows the government had no evidence Chairman Powell committed a crime. Eight days later, the judge quashed the subpoenas, writing the government produced “essentially zero evidence” and was “targeting a disfavored official.”
The Justice Department called its Epstein investigation “exhaustive.” Deposition videos released Tuesday show Epstein’s longtime lawyer and accountant each told the House Oversight Committee that federal investigators never interviewed them. Minnesota officials, meanwhile, are suing the federal government for refusing to share evidence from three shootings by federal agents that killed two people and wounded a third.
Don’t let Renée Good and Alex Pretti’s killers disappear into another “exhaustive” investigation. Call your representatives. Demand that DOJ share the evidence with Minnesota authorities.
