WCPT 820 Interview: Margaret Donovan

from Chew's Views with Richard Chew (Featured Interviews) Hosted by WCPT 820

Richard Chew is joined by Margaret Donovan, attorney at Koskoff Koskoff and Bieder, visiting clinical lecturer in law at Yale Law School, former assistant United States attorney for the District of Connecticut, Army veteran and former captain in the Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps. She discussed military deployments, government accountability, election administration, and political interference. Here is a brief summary of the conversation: - Donovan described the mental strain of deployments without reliable end dates, especially when extensions occur unexpectedly. - She argued that minimizing an overseas conflict undermines service members’ understanding of their mission and sacrifices. - She explained that civil service protections and the Hatch Act are intended to keep public servants from serving partisan interests. - Donovan argued that officials, like Attorney General Todd Blanche, cannot claim "personal capacity" while speaking about their government roles and authority at political events.
