In an absurd twist that makes a mockery of a once-respected law enforcement institution, Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi have decided to create a 2nd Amendment Gun Rights unit at the Department of Justice.

They have gutted DOJ's Civil Rights Section, Public Integrity Section, and Environmental Crimes and Enforcement sections, apparently concluding that voting rights don't need to be protected, public corruption and political grift don't need to be punished or deterred, and the environment does not need protection either.

Notwithstanding that the United State has more guns per capita than any other country in the world, and more mass shootings - 401 thus far in 2025 - more than any other country, more guns is what America needs to be safer.

This kind of imbecility endangers all Americans.

In July of this year, Kash Patel's FBI issued a statement publicly assuring the American people that Kash and company had done an "exhaustive" review of all of the Epstein files - specifically assuring us the review was "thorough."

Yet now, we are told that Patel, Pam Bondi, and Trump's other DOJ leadership apparently missed one million Epstein documents.

Bondi is already in violation of the federal law that required ALL Epstein files to be disclosed publicly by December 19. Now, the DOJ tells the American people that the are going to need even more time to review these "newly found" documents.

Glenn reviews the top five takeaways from this new legal development.

The Supreme Court has put a stop to Trump's efforts to militarize the streets of America. Specifically, they ruled that Trump cannot federalize Illinois National Guard troops and deploy them to the streets of Chicago.

This is one of the first times the Supreme Court has pushed back on Trump's dictatorial zeal, and it's a ruling that likely will have broad implications regarding Trump's efforts to militarize Portland, Oregon, Los Angeles, California, and beyond.

This development comes at the same time Trump is being devastated by new releases of the Epstein files, and at the same time - a lawsuit is filed to remove Trump's name from the Kennedy Center, and at the same time - a federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to bring back the Venezuelan immigrants they unconstitutionally deported to El Salvador.

It feels like Trump is losing power. And it seems like justice is trending.

In little more than 24 hours, five legal developments broke that are devastating to Trump, individually and certainly in aggregate.

1. The Supreme Court FINALLY pushes back against Trump's dictatorial zeal

2. New revelations from the Epstein files are crushing Trump politically

3. A lawsuit was filed to remove Trump's name from the Kennedy Center

4. Judge Boasberg ordered the Trump administration to return to the United States - the Venezuelan migrants Trump unconstitutionally deported to El Salvador

5. AND - even the horribly biased Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Canon threw up her judicial hands and agreed to release volume 2 of Jack Smith's special counsel report

Donald Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi apparently believes that she is above the law. She blatantly violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act by releasing only a small fraction of the files which is in violation of federal law. Bondi's lawlessness is serving to cover up the crimes of countless rich, influential, connected men.

The two sponsors of the bill, (one a Republican and one Democrat) have announced they are drawing up articles of impeachment for Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for their obvious, cavalier, and even and militant violation of federal law.

When it comes to January 6, 2021, we see what Donald Trump is trying to do. He's trying to whitewash it, he's trying to rewrite history, he's trying to turn a day of what we all saw was democracy-busting violence and hate into "a day of love."

The good news is, Trump can't get away with it. Why? Because there are great journalists, authors, and historians who have documented or are documenting exactly what January 6 was really all about. One of those authors is Nora Neus. Nora has authored a great new book that's about to be published called, "24 Hours At The Capitol: An Oral History of the January 6 Insurrection."

Glenn sat down with Nora for an extended conversation about her important new book.

In shocking new reporting by Reuters: "Unprecedented errors are eroding the credibility of Trump's Justice Department."

As Reuters further reported, "a federal magistrate judge said the errors were part of a broader pattern of unprecedented prosecutorial missteps, resulting in a 21% dismissal rate of the D.C. U.S. Attorney's office criminal complaints over eight weeks compared to a mere 0.5% dismissal rate over 10 years."

Glenn presents an inside perspective from someone who worked at the D.C. U.S. Attorney's office for decades as to how things are supposed to work, and how this horrific dismissal rate is attributable to a lack of leadership from Trump-appointed US Attorney Jeanine Pirro.
