Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann said the Justice Department’s handling of records tied to Jeffrey Epstein has only fueled suspicions of a cover-up – and that the agency’s failure to comply with the law in its release of documents only deepens the public’s distrust.

Speaking with Bulwark editor Sam Stein on "The Bulwark Podcast," Weissmann said Friday the government’s piece-by-piece approach has left critical questions unanswered.

After weeks of mounting tensions, protests, and a brutal Department of Homeland Security crackdown on Minneapolis that has left multiple people dead, President Donald Trump's controversial Border Patrol enforcer Greg Bovino is reportedly being ousted from his job.

But don't expect personnel changes to send a meaningful message to Border Patrol or Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents that they should stop using their current heavy-handed tactics, former prosecutor Andrew Weissmann warned MS NOW's Ari Melber on Monday.

Political analysts and observers may have left this week's Congressional deposition of Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell wanting more, but Congress still has a trick up its sleeve to make Maxwell sing, according to one lawyer.

Maxwell appeared before the House Oversight Committee on Monday for a closed-door deposition, where she invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Ahead of the hearing, Maxwell claimed that she was willing to clear President Donald Trump's name in exchange for clemency, an offer that the president has so far resisted.

A former general counsel for the FBI on Thursday flagged a concerning development in the investigation into the lethal shooting during an immigration operation in Minneapolis.

On Wednesday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed 37-year-old mother Renee Good while she was trying to leave the scene of an immigration operation in Minneapolis. Good's killing sparked protests and intense debate about the Trump administration's deportation operations.

A legal expert issued a dire warning about how President Donald Trump's immigration officers are going to conduct themselves going forward after another American was killed while protesting in Minneapolis.

On Saturday, 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti was gunned down by a swarm of immigration officers. The Trump administration claimed Pretti presented a threat to the officer's lives and called him a "domestic terrorist." The administration also claimed Pretti brandished a weapon at officers, even though video from the scene clearly contradicts that claim.

President Donald Trump is taking his supporters for a ride on the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case, former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann told MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace on Friday's edition of "Deadline: White House" — and the new dump of documents only proves that further.

"Andrew, we've been talking theoretically. You've been reading," said Wallace. "Anything strike you in terms of what the Department of Justice has made public?"

Top Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill came together this week to praise a prominent law firm and government watchdog group – even as the firm remains locked in a bitter legal fight with President Donald Trump’s administration.

According to a new report in Politico, lawmakers from both parties attended a bipartisan event celebrating the release of “When Congress Comes Calling,” a newly updated handbook on congressional investigations published by Jenner & Block in partnership with the Project on Government Oversight.

A former Justice Department attorney tore into his old employer on MSNBC over the legality and ethics of President Donald Trump seeking over $200 million from the department, and delivered a stark warning to a pair of appointees who may help him.

Andrew Weissmann joined MSNBC's "The Beat" on Wednesday to discuss the events of the day, calling the ethics "absolutely clear" in this situation.
