'Thin-skinned and petty and weak': Trump exposes himself, degrades U.S. legal system

from The Briefing with Jen Psaki · host Jen Psaki, Dan Goldman, Preet Bharara, Ruben Gallego

With the indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James by Donald Trump's Justice Department, Trump's pattern of political prosecutions is undeniable. Rep. Dan Goldman, a former federal prosecutor, talks with Jen Psaki about the damage Trump's malicious prosecutions are doing to the U.S. legal system, and why it's more important that ever for members of the legal community to defend the rule of law from Donald Trump's abuses and distortions.Former federal prosecutor Preet Bharara talks with Jen Psaki about the many flaws in the legal cases being brought against people Donald Trump bears a grudge against, and points out that because they're only motivated by Trump's ire and vanity, there is no reason to expect them to end with the adversaries he has already named out loud for the DOJ to go after.For reasons only he can know, House Speaker Mike Johnson thought it would be a good idea to take questions from the public in the midst of presiding over a government shutdown. Among the uncomfortable encounters Johnson endured was a man who accused him of lying about illegal immigrants draining Medicaid. Johnson challenged the man to "look at the documents," so Jen Psaki did just that. To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.
