When the Department of Justice has to investigate politically sensitive matters, those investigations are typically handled by outside prosecutors known as Special Counsels: independent investigators given the freedom to unearth the dirtiest dirt against executive branch officials, including the president. 
Kara speaks with CNN senior legal analyst, former prosecutor, and best-selling author Elie Honig about his latest book, <a href="https://www.harpercollins.com/products/when-you-come-at-the-king-elie-honig?variant=43731399114786">When You Come at the King: Inside DOJ’s Pursuit of the President, from Nixon to Trump</a>. They discuss the history of the DOJ’s independent investigations, the Trump administration’s current (and mostly successful) attempts to weaponize the DOJ, the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling, and recommendations for fixing the system.
