The Trump administration is facing criticism for its legal actions against Democratic figures, including former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New Jersey Congresswoman LaMonica McIver. Cuomo is being investigated over allegations of misleading Congress, while McIver faces assault charges following a confrontation with federal agents.

Critics argue that these moves demonstrate the administration's political targeting of opponents, with some expressing concerns about the justice system's impartiality.
