Justice Department officials appointed by President Trump have enacted significant changes since his return to office. They have adjusted the focus of major divisions and questioned established legal standards. As a result, many career lawyers have either resigned or been dismissed.

Justice Correspondent Ali Rogin engaged with several former DOJ attorneys and leaders to discuss what these changes could mean for the future of the institution.

Ali Rogin is a correspondent for PBS News Hour focused on the Supreme Court and America’s judicial system. She won a Peabody Award in 2021 for a News Hour series on the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
