32:00Now PlayingThis week, the Justice Department announced the shocking creation of a $1.776 billion slush fund as part of a controversial settlement of President Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS, which would allow Trump to funnel taxpayer money to his allies and supporters. Asha and Renato are joined by Georgetown Law Professor David Super to break down the dubious legal basis for the fund, analyze why the underlying lawsuit was collusive litigation, and discuss how the Constitution could prevent January 6 rioters from receiving payments from the fund. Then, Renato and Asha discuss a much-criticized order by the Supreme Court last week that upended the Alabama primaries. The Court’s order allows the state to use congressional maps that would eliminate a majority-Black district, even though early voting began weeks ago. Listen now!
