Rachel Maddow, for more than two decades one of America's most incisive political commentators on radio, television and in bestselling books, appears to discuss her new book, Department of Fate. She turns her attention to the Department of Justice, tracing its history from the excesses of the Red Scare to the norm-shattering actions of the second Trump administration. She explores how the nation's most powerful law enforcement agency has been tested, politicized and, at times, weaponized. Maddow discusses why an independent and transparent Department of Justice remains essential to American democracy and what is at stake when politics intrudes on the rule of law.
