According to long time Republican lawyer, Geoffrey Berman, Trump and the Trump White House pushed DOJ prosecutors to bring political cases and protect Trump's interests. You can read the Times' write up, but they pressed a BS prosecution of Obama's White House Counsel, Greg Craig, they tried to get Michael Cohen's case dismissed and wanted a prosecution of John Kerry.
Politicizing the DOJ is bad. Really bad. This is why Biden and Garland's DOJ has moved very, very slowly in their investigations against Trump. It is why they will only bring charges when they have a slam dunk case.
Tellingly, it is also why Trumpist mouthpieces on social media are claiming that Biden is using the DOJ as a partisan tool.
It's exactly what they did and what they will do again if they have a chance.
