24:35Now PlayingChristopher Swartz, the senior ethics counsel for the Democracy Defenders Fund, joins Court Accountability Action's Lisa Graves to discuss the new complaint filed against Todd Blanche, Trump's nominee to be Attorney General. They discuss the ethics complaint to the New York Bar that Swartz helped write, which was joined by more than 100 retired judges as well as legal advocacy groups. That complaint details their views about how Blanche has failed to act as a diligent attorney for the United States and instead has used his role at the Justice Department to continue acting like Trump's personal attorney. That includes how Blanche personally orchestrated the settlement of Trump's IRS claims and much, much more. This is part 1 in an ongoing conversation.
