Trump’s retribution list
Sep 30, 2025 •
When Donald Trump took power, he promised retribution against his political opponents.
Now, he’s delivering - and he’s using the justice department to do it, with the US Attorney launching a two-count indictment against former FBI Director James Comey.
And it seems like that’s just the beginning.
The justice department has also been directed to investigate the Open Society Foundations, a group funded by the billionaire George Soros.
Today, former Human Rights Watch director and federal prosecutor Kenneth Roth on how Trump is eroding checks on presidential power, and the chilling effect it could have.
