51% : Trump has also put in place some of his closest allies in the leadership positions.
38% : There is typically a separation between politics and the DOJ, but Trump has repeatedly made attacking the department part of his campaign speeches and said on the trail last year that he would use the DOJ to go after people he sees as disloyal.
