'We've Never Seen a President Behave This Way': Schiff on Trump's DOJ | APT

Senator Adam Schiff questions former Attorney General John Ashcroft during a Senate hearing, focusing on the limits of presidential authority over the U.S. Department of Justice. Schiff argues that a president publicly urging the Justice Department to investigate or prosecute political opponents undermines the independence of federal law enforcement, drawing comparisons to reforms enacted after the Watergate scandal. The exchange explores the balance between presidential oversight, the rule of law, and the Justice Department's independence. The hearing also touches on broader concerns about prosecutorial discretion, constitutional norms, and the separation between the White House and criminal investigations. #AdamSchiff #Trump #DOJ #JusticeDepartment #Congress #Senate #Politics #UnitedStates #Watergate #WorldNews Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @apt_news
