‘People Are Sorely Mistaken’: Maggie Haberman Debunks Key Donald Trump Assumption
HuffPost
The New York Times reporter responded to footage of Pam Bondi, the president-elect's pick for attorney general.
The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman on Monday suggested on CNN that “people are sorely mistaken” if they think President-elect Donald Trump isn’t going to pursue the prosecutors in the criminal cases against him that have fallen away since his election win.
“The Source” anchor Kaitlan Collins played footage of Trump’s attorney general pick Pam Bondi vowing last year that “the prosecutors will be prosecuted” and that “the house needs to be cleaned out.”
Collins asked Haberman what Bondi would do if Trump asked her to probe those, for example, who were on special counsel Jack Smith’s team that investigated the returning POTUS.
That is a question that will be posed by Democratic senators during confirmation hearings “and it’ll be very interesting to see what she says,” replied Haberman.
