good evening from new york, i'm chris hayes. one of the most important independent officials in the entire executive branch, the entire u.s. government to the director of the fbi is leaving his job before the end of his term. in doing so, he is taking one of the most important remaining guardrails in our democracy with him. earlier today, fbi director christopher wray gathered employees of the bureau together and told him that he will not stay on the last three years of his 10 year statutory term. quote, after weeks of careful thought, i decided the right thing for the bureau is for me to serve until the end of the current administration in january and step down to the most incredible thing about all of this is christopher wray was supposed to run the fbi until 2027, after he was hired by, let's see, oh yes, donald trump in 2017. the problem was wray was not sufficiently loyal, he did not let trump's turned that fbi lawyers and cops into his lawyers and cops. as president, trump tried time and time again to weaponizing apartment

i'm chris hayes. for years, while campaigning to get back to the white house are donald trump promised a war on the fake news media.e he's not even in office, and he is already going after the freea press.he filing lawsuits, winning concessions, and intimidating reporters in an attempt to get them to do his bidding. >> and i feel i have to do this. i shouldn't really be the one to do it.ly it should have been the justice department or somebody else. but i have to do it. it costs a lot of money to do it, but we have to straighten out the press. our press is very corrupt. almost as corrupt as our elections. >> pretty good give might have away with that last hine line, as corrupt of our elections, the reference to the big lie he won the belection in 2020 when he didn't. you can evaluate the truth value of those statements together. that was trump at mar-a-lago on monday announcing his latest legal salvo against the first amendment and against a free society. a lawsuit against an election pollster whose n

good evening from new york, i am chris hayes. as we here in america struggle to uphold our own democratic institutions, there is a situation playing out in south korea right now that is remarkably relevant, disturbing, and maybe at this hour, quite hopeful. the remarkable scene you may have seen throughout the day unfolding, the last 24 hours, where citizens of south korea have taken to the streets to defend democracy against an erratic, far right president who declared martial law. that president would be yoon suk yeol. it is a story that might sound, in some ways, familiar to you. a political novice who ran for president in 2022, thanks to high inflation and frustration with the liberal predecessor, yoon narrowly won the election by about 0.25% of all votes cast. he identified as an antifeminist, made a point of courting the south korean male vote, this sort of ministry that exists over there with an openly misogynistic campaign that blamed feminism, for the country's low birth rates. as president, he tried to dismantle the gov

good evening from new york, i am chris hayes. donald trump has already lost two nominees in the first month since the election. former congressman matt gaetz, his pick for attorney general, dropped out after a few weeks when it became clear he could not get confirmed in the senate, which is as it should be. then, there is florida sheriff chad chronister, that was trump's pick to run the dea, who withdrew from consideration, because, well, it appears trump thought he was too tough on enforcing covid measures, not to mention his son. trump is already down two and a third pick is already hanging by a string. donald trump's choice to run the department of defense, pete hegseth, former fox weekend host is barely holding onto his hope of being senate confirmed. it feels like his nomination could fall at any moment. he has been on capitol hill all week meeting with senators and dodging questions about investigative reporting in nbc news and the new yorker about what ex-convicts say was excessive drinking, in positions of leadership, as

i am in new york in for chris hayes this evening. as donald trump is preparing to take the oval office in just over a month, we are learning new details about how his department of justice spied on his perceived enemies the last time he was in office. the trump era doj secretly obtained phone and text messages, logs of 43 congressional staffers, and two members of congress in 2017 and 2018. that is the top line of a new report by the justice department inspector general. it also found that the trump administration gave "at a minimum, the appearance of inappropriate interference" when it spied on two democratic members of congress, current senator adam schiff of california, who at the time, was the ranking democrat on the house intelligence committee, and fellow california congressman, eric swalwell, who also sat on that committee. today's ig report also found that the trump doj violated its own policies in the way it secretly obtained phone and text records from reporters in the same leak investigation. now, we knew a bit of this bef

i'm chris hayes. jimmy carter has died at the age of 100. in many ways his path to presidency was a surprising and remarkable one. in 1976 jimmy carter represented a stark break from the politics of richard nixon, the last elected president. carter was soft-spoken, deeply religious, trades he used to ride electoral backlash against knicks i don't knowian lies and scandals and dirty trucks. he was not running against nixon but incumbent gerald ford. ford had been elevated to the vice-presidency and then the presidency after his predecessors in both positions resigned in disgrace amid national scandals. ford was not able to fully break with nixon's unpopularity, and carter won the white house. his legacy is more complicated than his widely admired post-presidency. carter had notable accomplishments most notably facilitating camp david accords. for that effort and others carter was ultimately awarded the nobel peace prize in 2002. one area he was unable to succeed was in renewable energy. he had the opportunity to truly reshape our relationship
