Trump's AG Troubles: No Evidence, No Charges

0:00It's April 5th. You're listening to Vancouver News today, AI-powered local news. I'm Corey with the story.

Over the past year, her Justice Department hit roadblocks from judges, grand juries, and even its own staff while chasing leads on folks like James. Comey and Leticia James Trump wants prosecutions, but the courts keep shutting them down. This isn't new. Trump pushed out Jeff Sessions back in his first term for not going after Hillary Clinton hard enough, and William Barr quit after, refusing to back election fraud claims. Last fall, Bondi and I did Comey and James right after Trump's social media nudge, but a judge tossed those cases fast over an illegal prosecutor, appointment. Experts like former acting AG Peter Keisler say the real issue is weak evidence and shaky legal grounds. No new boss can magic that away.

These hurdles won't vanish easy, leaving the Justice Department caught between Trump's demands and a tough court system that demands real proof.
