Thank you, Scott.

The U.S.

Justice Department is an institution in turmoil.

NPR's Carrie Johnson has been covering the Justice Department for nearly two decades, and she joins us now.

Thanks for being here, Carrie.

Now, Carrie, in your reporting since President Trump took office this year, you've talked about the brain drain at the DOJ.

Give us a sense of the scale of that.

Wow.

And how is all of that turnover impacting the work of the Justice Department?

So, Kerry, what is the cost of all of this turmoil?

So, Carrie, the Supreme Court said in an immunity case last year that a president has absolute control over the Justice Department.

How is President Trump using some of that newfound authority?

So Carrie, there's just so much to cover here.

What are you going to be following in the weeks to come?

That is NPR's Kerry Johnson, busy as ever.

Thank you so much for joining us.

And I'm Rob Schmitz.

And our technical director was David Greenberg with engineering support from Nisha Hynas, Zovan Genhoven, and Ted Meebane.

Tomorrow on The Sunday Story, what is the biggest change you've had this year?

Well, Aisha here bought a house with her best friend, meaning there are now five kids under one roof.
