What to know about Trump's executive order and 'unprecedented' power grab within the government

The article discusses former President Donald Trump's executive order, which aimed to grant him unprecedented control over the executive branch, particularly the Department of Justice (DOJ). This order would have allowed Trump to oversee and potentially influence investigations, including those involving himself, thereby undermining the DOJ's independence. Critics argue that this move represents a significant power grab, potentially violating the separation of powers and the principle of checks and balances inherent in the U.S. Constitution. The order was part of Trump's broader strategy to assert control over federal agencies, which has raised concerns about the politicization of justice and the erosion of democratic norms. Legal experts and political analysts have expressed alarm over the implications of such an order, suggesting it could lead to a scenario where the President could direct law enforcement to target political adversaries or protect allies, fundamentally altering the American legal and political landscape.
