Justice Department officials appointed by President Trump have implemented extensive changes since his return to office. They have altered the direction of key divisions and questioned established legal standards. These actions have led to the resignation or dismissal of many career lawyers.
Justice Correspondent Ali Rogin engaged with several former Department of Justice attorneys and leaders to gather their insights on the potential implications these changes hold for the institution’s future. Their reflections provide a glimpse into how these shifts might affect the integrity and functionality of the Justice Department in years to come.
Ali Rogin, known for her work with PBS News Hour, has covered the Supreme Court and the American judicial system extensively. Her efforts earned a Peabody Award in 2021 for her series on the global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rogin has also received two Edward R. Murrow Awards and has been part of Emmy-nominated teams for coverage of significant events like the fall of ISIS in 2020, the Las Vegas mass shooting in 2017, President Barack Obama’s inauguration in 2014, and the 2010 midterm elections.
