Andrew Weissmann: It Stinks to High Heaven

The deputy attorney general of the United States, who took an oath to help Donald Trump no matter what, is conferring with Jeffrey Epstein's literal partner in crime—a woman who lied about the sex trafficking she orchestrated and participated in. And Ghislaine Maxwell has every motive to exculpate Trump now (and incriminate some other high-profile figure) in return for a pardon or a reduction in her 20-year sentence for sexually exploiting and abusing numerous minor girls, some as young as 14. Meanwhile, JD isn't offering a very vigorous defense of Trump's integrity, the administration is making a giant legal mess for themselves in New Jersey over Alina Habba, and Emil Bove's nomination is all about trying to destroy checks and balances.Andrew Weissmann joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.show notes Weissmann's Substack The "Main Justice" podcast, co-hosted by Weissmann and Mary McCord Tim's playlist Get $35 off your first box of wild-caught, sustainable seafood—delivered right to your door.
