YouTube Description
as posted by the channel“Corruption is really about abusing entrusted power to benefit yourselves, your cronies, and to the disadvantage of others, including the most vulnerable in our society.”
In this Substack Live conversation, Zeteo contributor John Harwood sits down with former Obama White House official Norm Eisen, who says Trump’s authoritarianism has improved the odds that legal and public pressure can halt the president’s lawlessness.
They also discuss possible interference and voter intimidation during the 2026 midterm elections, if the Supreme Court is enabling Trump’s behavior and how the president has ignited backlash.
