A new investigation by Reuters details how the Trump administration is seeking to gain federal control over elections in at least eight states, employing investigations, raids and demands for access to balloting systems and voter ID records for the campaign.
"What we're seeing is the Trump administration, in some ways, is seeking to relitigate the 2020 election, and they're also seeking to impose federal authority over the administration of elections," says investigative journalist Ned Parker.
Parker also discusses the Trump administration's campaign of retribution against the president's perceived enemies, for which he and his colleagues at Reuters just won a Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting. "What we found in our count of 470 targets was that it really cut across all aspects of American society," he says.
