Trump’s Pick for Attorney General Is Even Worse Than You Think

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.thebulwark.com

Trump's AG nominee Todd Blanche lost Trump's own criminal trial, built an illegal slush fund, and lied on Fox News—and Republicans are confirming him anyway. Sarah Longwell and Andrew Weissmann discuss what Democrats can actually do at the hearing and why Trump is screaming election fraud while gutting the unit that investigates it. Plus: A federal judge ruled Trump's Kennedy Center takeover is illegal, his lawyers told a court they could bulldoze the Statue of Liberty, and there's now a grotesque, 92-foot metal structure on the White House lawn.
