... Why It Matters

The case marks a flashpoint in the Trump administration's broader effort to target perceived political enemies through the Department of Justice. Career prosecutors in Virginia are growing increasingly concerned that legal decisions are being overridden by political directives, which threatens the department's independence and credibility. Yusi's resistance follows the abrupt resignation of her predecessor, Erik Siebert, who was removed after refusing to pursue charges against James and former FBI Director James Comey.

What To Know

Trump has publicly demanded criminal charges against James, labeling her "SCUM" on Truth Social and accusing her of leading a politically motivated "witch hunt." His calls for prosecution intensified after James secured a civil fraud verdict against him and the Trump Organization, resulting in a $454 million penalty, later overturned on appeal. ...

Right, she ran on getting Trump no matter what. She prosecuted Trump on a bogus case in front of a bogus judge that was over turned. She wasted his time and money and it was at the direction of top Democrats. So yes it was politically motivated, she said so herself.
