YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

We speak with The Intercept's Jeremy Scahill about the brewing scandals over the handling of classified documents by President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, and how they "point to deeper systemic problems with Washington's obsession with secrecy." While the details differ, Scahill says both cases show powerful players in Washington who routinely mishandle classified documents face different rules than whistleblowers who have endured the full brunt of the law for exposing government secrets in the public interest.
