"The hypocrisy of Trump 2.0"

March 3, 2026; New reporting from MS Now revealed that, ahead of the joint U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran, Kash Patel's FBI gutted its global espionage unit, raising questions about whether Patel, as he claims, truly had no idea about the impending operation or whether this was a premeditated effort to circumvent would-be internal backlash. We discuss with Carol Leonnig -- who broke the report -- Andrew Weissmann and Michael Feinberg. Later in the hour, the latest on Trump's DOJ and Kristi Noem's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee with Michael Schmidt, Miles Taylor and Basil Smikle.  For more, follow us on Instagram @deadlinewh For more from Nicolle, follow and download her podcast, “The Best People with Nicolle Wallace,” wherever you get your podcasts.To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.
