The Department of Justice's crusade against President Donald Trump's enemies left ex-Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson visibly upset as she spoke about it on CNN.

"What the hell is the Justice Department doing?" Carlson said, talking about the DOJ's new criminal investigation against E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of sexual abuse. "What are they actually doing for the citizens of the United States of America?"

Carlson mentioned her lawsuit ten years ago against Fox News for sexual harassment and stated that the issue reached a "personal level" for her.

"This is very personal to me that the president of the United States would be coming after somebody who had the courage to come forward," Carlson said. "As a nation, I think that every American should be just really pissed off."

Carlson was upset that the DOJ is "wasting time on cases that, according to legal experts, are not credible," and said the cases against Carroll and other Trump enemies are "all to fulfill the mission of one man called the president of the United States, who's on a retribution tour."

Carroll has twice won defamation lawsuits against Trump after he called her a liar and denied her allegations. The DOJ has also gone after former FBI Director James Comey, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and anti-ICE protesters.

She said, "There are a plethora of other cases" for the DOJ to look into, and believed other Americans should be asking, "What are we doing? What are our tax dollars paying for with this Department of Justice?"
