Injustice: How Politics and Fear Vanquished America's Justice Department
Carol Leonnig and Aaron C. Davis investigate the pressures that reshaped the Justice Department across the Trump and Biden presidencies. Drawing on extensive reporting inside federal law enforcement, they reconstruct disputes over presidential power, the response to January 6, and the investigations led by Merrick Garland and Jack Smith. Their account follows prosecutors and FBI officials navigating political demands, institutional caution, and the costs of delayed decisions. The book asks how an agency charged with applying the law independently became a central battleground over accountability and the durability of American democracy.
