Unpacking The Russian Threat (with Masha Gessen)
Summary
What do the January 6 Committee’s subpoenas to Rudy Giuliani and other Trump lawyers say about the progress of the investigation? What did we learn from New York AG Letitia James’ late-night court filing accusing the Trump family of “fraudulent or misleading” practices? Preet answers listener questions.
Then, Preet interviews Masha Gessen, author and staff writer at The New Yorker. They discuss the escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the motivation behind President Vladimir Putin’s efforts to grab power across Eastern Europe, and the dismantling of democratic forces in both Russia and the U.S.
