Deputy AG Monaco says claims of politicization ‘a disservice’ to Justice Department personnel

Republican accusations that the Justice Department has been politicized to target former President Donald Trump and others on the right are a "disservice" to the DOJ's employees and add fuel to a toxic environment that has helped drive a recent rise in threats against public officials, Deputy Attorney Lisa Monaco told ABC News' "This Week" in an exclusive interview. "Those claims bear no resemblance to the Justice Department that I know," Monaco told ABC News' Chief Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas. "The Justice Department that I know is filled with dedicated men and women, investigators, lawyers, prosecutors, analysts, professional staff who get up every day, Pierre, they get up every day without regard to who's in the White House or who's in Congress."
