CNN host calls out pro-Trump prosecutor for talking in circles about weaponized DOJ

CNN host Boris Sanchez clashed with one of President Donald Trump's former government attorneys on Monday, who was quick on allegations but thin on evidence.

Chad Mizelle, former acting general counsel to the Department of Homeland Security, alleged that the Trump Justice Department would begin acting on findings from its "working group" investigating President Joe Biden's administration.

CNN reporter Paula Reid said that Trump recently "admonished Justice Department officials for not delivering on more of these kinds of investigations."

Mizelle rattled off some of the "findings" he said have been uncovered, including matters related to former special counsel Jack Smith and allegations about John Bolton's book published during the first Trump term.

Mizelle also argued that the Trump administration would not "weaponize the Justice Department" as was done previously. Yet Sanchez asked how that could be when the president has publicly ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to weaponize the DOJ against his political foes.

Sanchez asked Mizelle whether there was any evidence for his allegations.

"It sounds like you're insinuating that there's something there and perhaps hiding under the cover of there being something in an investigation. Why don't you just say it right now?" Sanchez asked. "Have you seen any evidence that Joe Biden directed the search of Mar-a-Lago for classified documents? Joe Biden, by the way, had his own documents at his property that he had his lawyers come out and say, 'Hey, we have this stuff, come look for more stuff from the federal government.' A very different posture than President Trump took."

"Here's what I am able to speak to," Mizelle said. He went on to attack former President Barack Obama's administration for "weaponizing" the intelligence community.

Sanchez called him out on it.

"I appreciate you not directly answering the question and going back to 2016, when there was, at the time, credible evidence regarding links between the Trump campaign and agents of a foreign government that were investigated and were looked into," Sanchez said.
