No dissent: Donald Trump's revenge tour
from The State of It: USA
Donald Trump has demonstrated his grip on his party in this week's Republican primaries, and dissent will be punished. The president has established a $1.8bn fund to compensate people who've been unfairly investigated. Critics say it's just a slush fund for his allies. We explain how it came into being, how it will work and why people are worrying about it. And Britain's deputy ambassador to Washington has been sacked. We have the details.Katy Balls, Washington editor and columnist at The Times and The Sunday TimesGerard Baker, columnist at The Times and editor at large at The Wall Street JournalProducers: Euan Dawtrey, Harry KitsonExecutive producer: Molly GuinnessImage: Getty Images.Clips: ReutersThis podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.
