Then we turn to a series of legal and political battles raising major questions about power, accountability, and the state of American democracy. Donald Trump is again trying to avoid paying E. Jean Carroll, this time with help from a Justice Department argument now headed toward the courts. Meanwhile, the FBI raided the office of a Virginia lawmaker tied to a redistricting push, and Kash Patel is facing scrutiny after reports that the FBI is investigating The Atlantic. The growing use of government power for political pressure, personal grievances, and revenge is beyond concerning.
