Justice Dept. Girds for a Test of Its Independence

President-elect Donald Trump's plans to install loyalists have left officials fearful that he intends to carry out his threats of retribution but hopeful that rule-of-law norms can hold.

The article from The New York Times, published on November 29, 2024, discusses the ongoing debate over the independence of the Justice Department, particularly in light of former President Donald Trump's influence. It highlights how Trump's tenure saw significant pressure on the DOJ, with instances where he allegedly tried to use the department for personal and political gain. The piece examines the efforts by current administration officials to reinforce the DOJ's autonomy, detailing new policies and guidelines aimed at preventing future political interference. It also covers reactions from legal experts, former DOJ officials, and political figures, who express varied opinions on the effectiveness and necessity of these measures. The article underscores the tension between executive oversight and the need for an impartial justice system, reflecting on historical precedents and the potential implications for future presidencies.
