    UnJustified | Take it to the High Side

    At least 18 Trump administration officials used an unsecured Signal chat to discuss real-time attacks on Houthi militants in Yemen earlier this month as investigative journalist for the Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberg was inadvertently added to the group. The Department of Justice is drastically changing their policy of prosecuting crimes in the United States prior to deportation. The FBI has cut staffing in an office focused on domestic terrorism and has scrapped a tool used to track such investigations. This shift could undermine law enforcement’s ability to counter white supremacists and anti-government extremists. Alina Habba was sworn in Friday as the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. Plus listener questions. Questions for the pod? Questions from Listeners
