49:01Now PlayingCourt of History's Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz present: Former Trump DHS official Miles Taylor reveals chilling details about the culture inside Trump’s White House — describing it as a “Mafia-like operation” where fear, loyalty tests, and threats ruled the day. According to Taylor, dissent was punished, subordinates were pressured to break norms, and Trump’s inner circle functioned more like an organized crime syndicate than a presidential staff. His revelations shed light on the toxic environment that, he claims, still drives Trump’s political machinery.
