Trump Push to Jail Foes Takes Darker Turn—and GOP Senators Are Rattled

The Daily Blast With Greg Sargent

Donald Trump just named William Pulte as acting director of national intelligence, replacing the outgoing Tulsi Gabbard. Pulte is best known for abusing his administration position to ransack the mortages of Trump’s enemies for fake pretexts to get them prosecuted and jailed. In today’s episode, University of Michigan law professor Leah Litman argues that the office of DNI could be put to even more nefarious and "terrifying" use. Indeed, GOP Senate Majority Leader John Thune suggested it may produce a "weaponized" DNI, a striking admission of serious danger ahead. Senator Tom Cotton curtly refused to share his opinion of the choice. And other GOP senators said Pulte is unqualified for the job. Given the DNI’s power, these objections reveal visible consternation. Indeed, MAGA figures fully expect Pulte to be turned loose on the left. Litman discusses what a "weaponized" national security state could look like under Pulte and ponders whether the rule of law can survive this presidency.
