What was said
"The challenges to basic reality now control crucial branches of the federal government. So you have people in places like the Justice Department waging prosecutions of the president's political antagonists and enemies and just people he has grudges against based on what lawyers in the administration know are not true narratives or not violation of law."
Jonathan Rauch claims that what he calls “challenges to basic reality” have reached into key parts of the federal government. He alleges politically motivated use of the Justice Department and says government bodies have promoted what he describes as plainly false narratives, including claims that an election was stolen.
