YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSharon McMahon, Judd Legum, and former DOJ pardon attorney Liz Oyer join me to break down Trump's $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" — a secret slush fund with no transparency, no public accountability, and commissioners the president can fire whenever he feels like it. Republican senators are revolting, the Colbert show is gone, and Trump is building monuments to himself on the National Mall. The New York Times says there's never been presidential corruption like this — and after today's show, you'll understand exactly why.
