Former U.S. attorney accuses President Trump of running the government like a mob boss
President Trump has repeatedly said the U.S. Justice Department has been “weaponized” against him.
But one former Justice official argues the president is not just weaponizing the government but running it like an organized crime syndicate.
Author and law professor Barbara McQuade served as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan from 2010 to 2017.
She successfully prosecuted former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick on corruption charges.
Now McQuade is out with a new book, “The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government.”
She says the book stems, in part, from what she found during the Kilpatrick trial.
