Chronology of a Dozen Times Trump Pushed to Prosecute His Perceived Enemies

 

The cascade of election coverage, commentary and speculation about how Donald Trump might use the power of the presidency to retaliate against his perceived political enemies has overlooked important context: Trump has done just that, while he was president, at least a dozen times.

 

What follows is a chronological list of specific instances in which the former president in fact used the Department of Justice and other levers of government power — including by directly, publicly or privately pressuring officials — to target his chosen political targets. The record includes several cases in which he apparently succeeded more than might be imagined or remembered.
