Jeffries Vows To Weaponize Govt. Against Trump Officials

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries vowed on Thursday to go after members of President Donald Trump’s administration — essentially weaponizing the government against political opponents — while at the same time complaining that Trump was doing exactly that.

Speaking to left-wing MSNBC host Chris Hayes, Jeffries complained about the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling last year upholding a key aspect of the Constitution’s provision granting presidents wide immunity from legal actions taken while in office.

But he then threatened to move against Trump administration officials if Democrats take power again.

“There are so many corrupt sycophants within the Trump administration, including but not limited to, within the Department of Justice. Now these people don’t have immunity, and the reality is, the statute of limitations is five years. And there will be accountability with the next administration if not before, when Democrats take back control of the House of Representatives.”

Jeffries’ threat comes amid a couple of high-profile indictments by the Justice Department of noted anti-Trump figures.

Last month, fired FBI Director James Comey was charged with lying to Congress and obstructing justice. And on Thursday, New York Attorney General Letitia James was indicted on allegations of mortgage fraud.
