Durbin Speaks Against Extreme, Unqualified Trump U.S. Attorney Nominees

Published | Video Starts at 13:41

There is a clear through line here with these extreme, unqualified nominees. Their MAGA loyalty all but guarantees they will use their post in the U.S. attorney's office to go after the President's political opponents. President Trump has nominated these January 6th apologists for another equally concerning reason. He wants to make the case that the 2020 election was stolen to justify interfering in the 2026 election. And he wants loyal foot soldiers in the U.S. attorney's offices who will help him carry out this mission. (13:41–13:56)

CLAIM
