Matt Whitaker joined the Faulkner Focus on Fox News to discuss the weaponization of justice.

Former Acting U.S. Attorney General Matt Whitaker appeared on Fox News' "The Faulkner Focus" to discuss the perceived weaponization of justice against Donald Trump. Whitaker highlighted the procedural controversies surrounding Trump's legal cases, emphasizing irregularities and political motivations.

Whitaker pointed out that the district court initially dismissed charges against Trump, referencing past cases like Enron, where document shredding was central. Despite this, an appeals court reinstated the charges, now under Supreme Court review. Justice Neil Gorsuch’s critique of the government's arguments impacts over 300 individuals charged under the same statute, including Trump in the DC case brought by Jack Smith.

The discussion also addressed the New York case against Trump, noting an unusual legal approach and diversion of prosecutorial resources from more critical crimes. Whitaker expressed concerns about the extension of statute limitations and novel legal theories, predicting these cases might collapse on appeal.

Jury selection in Trump’s hush money trial revealed potential biases, with many jurors dismissed for admitting they couldn't be impartial. This scrutiny of jurors, particularly their news sources, underscores the challenge of finding unbiased individuals in politically charged cases.

Whitaker argued that the focus on Trump is politically motivated, diverting attention from pressing legal issues. The outcome of these trials, influenced by potential biases and procedural flaws, remains uncertain as the legal battle continues.
