- Former CIA and National Security Agency director Michael Hayden sounded the alarm this week after Donald Trump Jr. unloaded on the Department of Justice and the FBI.
- Hayden said that Trump Jr.'s suggestion that the nation's top law-enforcement agency was tainted with bias against President Donald Trump was "an appeal to the heart of autocracy."
- Hayden and other former intelligence officials have largely pushed back on Trump's and his allies' claims that the DOJ and FBI are biased against him.
Retired Gen. Michael Hayden, the former director of the CIA and the National Security Agency, said Tuesday that Donald Trump Jr.'s comments about the Russia investigation and the FBI were "scary" and appealed "to the heart of autocracy."
