27:20Now PlayingScott Cummings, a Professor of Legal Ethics at the UCLA School of Law, joins Lisa Graves from Court Accountablity Action to discuss the serious ethics issues being raised by the courts and public interest groups about the conduct of Todd Blanche, whom Donald Trump has nominated to be the Attorney General of the United States. They discuss the new ruling finding that the "settlement" of Trump's suit against the IRS, signed by Acting Attorney General Blanche, was collusive and how he did not zealous represent the interests of the United States by never filing any motions to dismiss the case as the Justice Department has in other cases involving that leak of IRS files.
