Summary

Tonight on The Intersection, Popok unpacks the DOJ dumpster fire in just the last 48 hours with senior DOJ officials resigning en masse rather than take part in a Trump cover-up tied to the ICE murder of Renee Good; Trump threatens to fire AG Pam Bondi as faith in the Justice Department collapses; Senator Mark Kelly sues Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after being threatened with “hanging” for opposing the administration; Minnesota’s Attorney General moves in the name of Renee Good to halt a dangerous ICE surge; and Trump’s attack on Fed Chair Jerome Powell backfires as Senate Republicans vow to block all Fed nominees unless the criminal probe ends. Plus, California AG Rob Bonta joins to break down fresh victories pushing back against DOJ overreach and to defend democracy.
