    Ep 2: A Trump’s Best Friend

    While Lindsey Graham spent most of the 2016 campaign excoriating Trump as a toxic demagogue, he began transforming into his chief apologist after the election—in an effort to influence Trump on national security and foreign policy.

    Ep 5: The First Impeachment

    By the time of the Ukraine scandal and impeachment, Lindsey Graham and other Republicans had grown tired of defending Trump’s corrupt behavior.

    Ep 6: Insurrection Day
