On Monday, a federal judge threw out the criminal cases filed by the Department of Justice against former FBI director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

When President Trump took office in January, he made it clear that retribution against his perceived political enemies was a key part of his second-term agenda.  The cases against Comey and James were a high profile part of that strategy, and the White House does not seem inclined to accept this outcome.

On today’s Big Take podcast, host Sarah Holder is joined by Bloomberg senior national political reporter Nancy Cook and Department of Justice reporter Chris Strohm to discuss the stakes of the Comey and James cases, the role the DOJ has played in carrying out Trump’s second-term agenda — and what to expect next.
