Trump's latest rant urging CIA to act inside U.S. triggers legal fears

President-elect Donald Trump, in an angry midnight rant, criticized the United States on multiple fronts and called for the Central Intelligence Agency, a U.S. civilian foreign intelligence entity, to conduct investigations within the United States — a move potentially unlawful and a possible threat to Americans’ civil rights.

Hours later, he appeared to directly blame President Joe Biden for the New Year’s Day attack in New Orleans, currently under FBI investigation as an act of terrorism.
