Donald Trump is currently in the process of selecting a new attorney general, a crucial position in his administration. The attorney general is considered the most important Cabinet position by Trump and his team, as it plays a key role in fulfilling campaign promises such as immigration-related executive orders and investigations of political adversaries.
During his first term, Trump made significant changes within the Justice Department, including the firing of one attorney general and the dismissal of an FBI director and two US attorneys in Manhattan. This time around, there are concerns among Justice Department employees, including special counsel Jack Smith, about potential political retribution.
