US Justice Department taps independent prosecutor for Trump probes

WASHINGTON, 20 November 2022, (TON): The US Justice Department named a former war crimes investigator as a special counsel to oversee criminal probes into Donald Trump, three days after the former president announced a new White House run in 2024.

Trump who claims to be the target of a witch-hunt slammed the dramatic move as “unfair” and “the worst politicization of justice in our country.”

The White House strongly denied any political interference, but the unprecedented special counsel investigation of a former president and current presidential candidate sets the stage for a drawn-out legal battle.
