DOJ charges two former top FBI officials who were frequent targets of Trump allies
Two former FBI officials who have come under withering criticism from allies of President Donald Trump over their intelligence work during the 2020 presidential election have been charged with allegedly lying to Congress.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center the Justice Department charges against two former FBI officials, and NBC News adds the context that they had been frequent targets of Trump allies because of their 2020 election intelligence work. The Atlantic frames the same development much more skeptically, calling it a “very suspicious indictment” and saying the timing and substance of the allegations raise questions. NBC’s extract is descriptive, while The Atlantic’s is explicitly evaluative.
