Victor Davis Hanson discusses DOJ and White House relations

Victor Davis Hanson has commented on the historical relationship between the Department of Justice and the White House, arguing that Democrats have a long history of close ties between these institutions. He cites the JFK administration, where Robert F. Kennedy served as Attorney General, and the Obama administration, noting Eric Holder’s description of himself as ‘Obama’s wingman,’ as examples of this dynamic.

Hanson also addresses the use of local prosecutors in political matters. He argues that the principle of local prosecutors pursuing cases against federal figures was established during the legal actions taken against Donald Trump by New York officials, such as Letitia James and Alvin Bragg.
