Trump Calls DOJ Move the ‘Worst Politicization of Justice’ in US

Donald Trump summed up Attorney General Merrick Garland’s appointment Friday of a special counsel to oversee criminal investigations related to the former president as “the worst politicization of justice in our country.”

“I have been going through this for six years -- for six years I have been going through this, and I am not going to go through it anymore,” Trump told Fox News in an interview, offering a cascade of superlatives and occasional hyberbole. “And I hope the Republicans have the courage to fight this.”
