Republican Attorneys General Support TPS Scrutiny
Authorities are appealing a judge's decision to throw out a case against Jim Comey in Virginia. Officials stated yesterday that the investigation into Comey will continue. The Justice Department under acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is intensifying efforts against perceived enemies of Donald Trump. This follows a recent charge against the Southern Poverty Law Center regarding informant payments. Additionally, a former aide to Dr. DOJ officials confirmed he will face a jury trial to enter a plea. Benjamin Wittes of the Brookings Institution is participating in discussions regarding the pattern of targeting perceived enemies. The investigation includes allegations that Comey lied to Congress and made a threat against the President in a public Instagram post. The specific nature of the evidence required remains a point of inquiry.
