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.

The journalist later warned: “But if the idea is that there’s lots of people around Trump and the White House who are going to try to prevent him from doing this, I think people are sorely mistaken.”
