Alan Feuer reports:
From the moment President Trump was re-elected, he has muscled his way into the driver’s seat at the Justice Department, leaving tread marks on its time-honored independence from the White House by demanding, and sometimes directing, investigations into his enemies. 
But his tight grip on the steering wheel has often threatened to lead the department off a cliff.
