Jen Psaki looks at the myriad conflicts of interest and outright corruption by the Trump administration while taxpayers foot the bill for his self-serving deals and federal workers scramble to live without getting paid because of Trump's government shutdown.Jen Psaki points out how the combination of Donald Trump's poor sourcing of information and weak comprehension skills suggest he doesn't understand what is happening in his own administration. But when the facts are self-evident, perhaps a more reasonable explanation of Trump's behavior is that he simply doesn't care.House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi talks with Jen Psaki in an exclusive interview about California Democrats' enthusiasm for Prop 50 to redistrict the state and increase the number of likely Democratic districts in a bid to counter Republican states redistricting to try to rig the midterm election to maintain Donald Trump's control of Congress.
