Andrew here. With the federal indictment of the former F.B.I. director James Comey, Trump is now clearly moving against his enemies. Among the high-profile names on his list are two titans of business: the billionaire philanthropist George Soros (whose former protégé Scott Bessent is Trump’s Treasury secretary) and the LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, both of whom are prolific Democratic donors. He spoke about going after them openly in the White House on Thurday.

During past administrations, C.E.O.s in America showed a willingness to speak out against the president or his policies. Do Trump’s latest moves make it more fraught to do so? We have more on this, and other news below.

Comey may not be the last

President Trump has gotten his way, securing a federal indictment of James Comey, the former F.B.I. director and a longtime political opponent, despite concerns within the Justice Department over the case.

The question is who comes next.

Trump has already named potential targets: the billionaires George Soros and Reid Hoffman, both prolific Democratic donors, plus Democratic officials like Letitia James, New York’s attorney general.

The Comey indictment came only after Trump put an ally in charge of the case. Lindsey Halligan, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, secured two charges from a grand jury before a statute of limitations ran out. Halligan, who has never prosecuted a federal case, failed to secure a third charge.

Trump has already weighed in, declaring “JUSTICE IN AMERICA!” on social media.

But the charges came after Halligan replaced Erik Siebert, who had privately expressed misgivings about the strength of the case, as U.S. attorney. Other Trump officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi (who The Times reported had also raised concerns about the case), publicly praised the charges.
