"Throughout his first administration, Donald Trump did more than any other president to politicize the nation's top law enforcement agency, pressuring appointees to shield him, to target his enemies, and even to help him cling to power after his 2020 election defeat.

"For as long as historical records have existed, people in positions of authority have tried to rewrite history to suit their purposes. The pattern has become tragically familiar: dictatorial powers use their editing pens to create myths, spread propaganda, justify decisions, erase opponents, and even dispose of crimes. Today, as Republican politics becomes increasingly radicalized, it's not surprising to see the party read from a similarly despotic...
