TRUTH TO POWER: Constituent delivers blast of reality to Republican congressman at town hall

from The Briefing with Jen Psaki · host Gene Wu, Rosina Paolini, Jen Psaki, Kristy Greenberg, Lisa Rubin

August 5, 2025, 9pm: Donald Trump's acolytes, including Attorney General Pam Bondi attempt to minimize Trump's connection to notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his sex trafficker accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, while hoping that a re-boot of the investigation into the investigation into Russia's support of Trump's candidacy in 2016 will be a further distraction. Texas Governor Greg Abbott tries to get heavy with Democrats who are denying state Republicans a quorum so they can't further gerrymander the state to try to help Trump hold onto his majority in Congress. And meanwhile, Republicans who are returning to their home districts are facing outrage from constituents for their blind support of Trump's wildly unpopular policies.  To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.
