The Trump administration is gutting the Justice Department's unit that oversees prosecutions

of public officials accused of corruption.

Emil Beauvais has fired the chief of the organized crime and drug trafficking task force,

and Todd Blanche has fired the Justice Department pardon attorney.

Judge Barrell Howell has blocked sections of Donald Trump's executive order punishing the Perkins-Cooey law firm,

saying that they likely violate the Constitution.

The top-ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee has asked the Department of Justice Inspector General to open an investigation into interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Ed Martin.

And Judge Dale Ho has canceled the hearing in the Eric Adams dismissal case after

Amicus Kuroi Paul Clement recommended he dismissed the bribery charges against the New York

City mayor with prejudice. It's Sunday, March 16th, 2025, and this is unjustified.

Hey, everybody, welcome to the unjustified podcast. It's the eighth episode. So we are

eight weeks in to this new Department of Justice under the Trump administration. I'm

Alison Gill. And I'm Andy McCabe. Okay, as you can see,

where are we going to start today? Well, I think we should probably start at Maine Justice.

That's where Trump's personal attorneys, Emil Beauvais and Todd Blanche, are taking a sledgehammer to key units and personnel

at the department. Now, this reporting comes from the Hill. The head of a Justice Department

task force dealing with organized crime and drug trafficking was fired by the Trump administration Friday.

And he indicated he believes politics may have played a role.

This is Adam Cohen. He said he was fired by acting Deputy Attorney General, General Emil Emeel.
