What has the Justice Department ordered regarding the FBI's ability to investigate New York City Mayor Eric Adams?
The Justice Department issued an unprecedented order on Monday prohibiting the FBI from investigating Mayor Eric Adams for any potential crimes. This directive states there shall be 'no further targeting of Mayor Adams or additional investigative steps' - effectively granting him immunity from federal investigation despite his existing indictment on bribery charges. O'Donnell emphasizes this is historically unprecedented, as no one in American history, including past presidents, has ever received such blanket protection from federal investigation. This order, part of what O'Donnell calls 'Trump's political weaponization of the Justice Department,' has been in full force all week.
