The Department of Justice (DOJ) has reportedly opened a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, sparking accusations that the Trump administration is using DOJ to go after the president’s adversaries.

“You’re fired”
“You can’t fire me without reason!”
“You’re fired and I say you broke the law!”
