Washington

President Trump has increased public pressure on the Justice Department and Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate his political opponents, referencing specific individuals in a post on social media. This follows a recent change in leadership at the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, where Trump announced plans to nominate Lindsey Halligan as the new top prosecutor after Eric Siebert was removed from the position for not advancing a case against New York Attorney General Letitia James.

The president's actions have been met with criticism from both sides of the political spectrum, with calls to keep politics separate from the judicial process. In related developments, California has enacted a law banning most law enforcement officers from wearing masks while on duty, a measure the White House is expected to challenge in court. Additionally, the Trump administration is reportedly preparing to announce findings related to Tylenol and autism risk.

Trump presiona al Departamento de Justicia para que persiga a sus enemigos políticos

Ahora volvemos a la política. Ocho meses después de su segundo mandato, el presidente Trump pidió este fin de semana que se intensifiquen las investigaciones a sus enemigos políticos. Willie James Inman de la CBS está en la Casa Blanca para nosotros con nuevos detalles sobre esto. Willie James, buenas noches. Tony, buenas noches. El presidente Trump exige al Departamento de Justicia que persiga a sus rivales políticos tras una reorganización en la Oficina del Fiscal de EE.UU. en el este de Virginia. Este fin de semana, el presidente Trump está presionando públicamente al Departamento de Justicia y la Fiscal General Pam Bondi. En un post en True Social, el presidente dijo, ¿qué pasa con Comey, Adam Shifty Schiff, Letitia? Todos ellos son culpables como el infierno, pero nada se va a hacer, añadiendo la justicia debe ser servida. Es un esfuerzo por intentar silenciar e intimidar a la gente, pero me niego a que me silencien o me intimiden. La exigencia del presidente está suscitando críticas a ambos lados del pasillo. Tenemos que sacar la política del sistema judicial tanto como podamos. En una sacudida dentro del DOJ, Trump dice que va a nominar a alto asesor de la Casa Blanca y Lindsey Halligan, ex abogada defensora personal, como fiscal superior de la Fiscalía de EE.UU. del Distrito Este de Virginia. Eric Siebert, que estaba sirviendo en el papel, fue empujado a cabo el viernes después de no poder mover adelante con un caso de fraude hipotecario contra el Fiscal General de Nueva York Letitia James. Parece que es muy culpable, pero eso dependerá del DOJ. También este fin de semana, nuevo rechazo al uso de máscaras por los agentes federales. No somos Corea del Norte, Sr. Presidente. No somos la Unión Soviética. Esto son los Estados Unidos de América. El gobernador de California, Gavin Newsom, firmó el sábado un proyecto de ley que prohíbe a la mayoría de las locales y federales de llevar máscaras durante el servicio. Ice, desenmascara. ¿De qué tienes miedo? La ley de California entra en vigor el 1 de enero, pero se espera que la Casa Blanca luche la medida en los tribunales. Y Tony, el Washington Post informa que la administración Trump planea hacer un anuncio el lunes sobre una supuesta relación entre el Tylenol y el riesgo de autismo. ¿Tony? Estaremos atentos.
