Monday on CNN’s “New Day,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said he was “very concerned” about the Department of Justice led by Attorney General Jeff Sessions was “weaponizing” its effort to crack down on leaks within government agencies.
On Friday at a press conference, Sessions announced the Justice Department was launching the effort of which Blumenthal warned could be for “political ends.”
“I’m very concerned that the Department of Justice is weaponizing for its personal and political ends, and specifically for the White House’s purposes,” Blumenthal said. “And politicizing the Department of Justice for personal ends, I think, is a disservice to the law.”
