    Pete Hegseth Accused of Jaw-Dropping War Cover-Up | Lichtman Live #253

    According to the Washington Post, President Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth clashed at Camp David over the depletion of the U.S. military’s munition stockpiles during the war with Iran. However, President Trump has now defended Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Hegseth is also facing growing criticism from Republicans on Capitol Hill as his public standing weakens. There are also rumors of a massive cover-up at the Pentagon. Hundreds of civilians are reported to have been killed or wounded by U.S. strikes in Yemen last year, but the Pentagon has yet to publicly acknowledge the casualties or share a full account with congress. Could Hegseth’s day’s as Secretary of Defense be numbered? In this episode of Lichtman Live, Professor Allan Lichtman examines whether Hegseth’s political position is becoming untenable, what the controversy reveals about the human and financial costs of the Iran war, and whether Republican support for the defense secretary is beginning to collapse.

    The REAL Reason Trump Is Pulling Todd Blanche's AG Nomination | Lichtman Live #251

    President Donald Trump's Attorney General nominee, Todd Blanche, is facing serious resistance from within his own party. After key Republican senators refused to support his confirmation, Trump suggested he may withdraw Blanche's nomination and renominate him after two GOP holdouts leave the Senate. The dispute centers on a controversial IRS settlement, a proposed $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund, and broader questions about the Justice Department's independence. In this episode of Lichtman Live, Professor Allan Lichtman examines why Blanche's nomination has stalled, what it reveals about divisions within the Republican Party, and what the battle could mean for the future of the Justice Department, the Trump administration, and the rule of law.

    The Trump administration is pursuing a civilian nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia—but critics warn it could reshape the balance of power across the Middle East.

In this episode of Lichtman Live, Professor Allan Lichtman examines the proposed U.S.–Saudi nuclear agreement, the historical lessons of nuclear proliferation, and what this deal could mean for regional security, U.S. foreign policy, Israel, Iran, and America's long-term strategic interests.
