About this episode
Mimi Rocah joins Harry Litman to discuss Pam Bondi's legacy at the DOJ and Todd Blanche's transformation into a pro-Trump ideologue.
Mimi Rocah, a veteran federal prosecutor and former colleague of Acting AG Todd Blanche, joins Harry to assess Pam Bondi's legacy at the Department of Justice and what lies ahead for the department now that she's gone. Rocah fills Harry in on Todd Blanche's total transformation into a pro-Trump ideologue—one as devoted, but more canny and probably more dangerous than his predecessor. And Mimi gives Harry some insights from her forthcoming book—Justice Under Siege—about Trump's complete takeover of the DOJ. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
