Matt Gaetz nomination as AG intensifies concerns that president-elect will prosecute former political enemies
Officials from the justice department and FBI have begun consulting lawyers amid fears that they will be prosecuted when Donald Trump returns to the White House, it has been reported.
The concerns have been driven by Trump’s vows to seek “retribution” against members of a “deep state” that he claims deliberately set out to undermine him when he was president and falsely alleges was weaponised against him after he left office.
