Trump Allies Propose Overhaul of Justice Department and FBI

Plan aims to restructure agencies, shift authority to loyalists, and implement conservative policies if Trump wins 2024 election

  • Proposals include flooding the Justice Department with conservative loyalists and restructuring key decision-making roles.
  • The FBI's authority would be constrained, with some responsibilities shifted to other agencies.
  • The plan could dismantle diversity hiring programs and end federal oversight of police departments accused of racist practices.
  • Trump's allies argue the president should have broad powers over the Justice Department, facing opposition from some Democrats and Republicans.
  • Detailed preparations are being made, contrasting with the chaotic 2016 transition.
