Former President Barack Obama took a thinly veiled swipe at the Trump administration on Tuesday, warning that U.S. democracy cannot survive the politicization of the criminal justice system and cautioning against presidents using the powers of government to target political opponents.
Speaking during an interview with Stephen Colbert on CBS's The Late Show, Obama did not mention President Donald Trump directly, but his remarks appeared aimed at criticism surrounding the administration's handling of the Justice Department and investigations involving perceived political adversaries.
