    Power and Profit: How Lobbying Shaped Washington with Brody Mullins (Part 2)

    (Part 2 of 2) Lobbying has long been a powerful force in Washington, shaping policies and influencing decisions behind closed doors. But how deep does this influence go, and what are the consequences for national security? This week, host Elisa sits down with Brody Mullins, co-author of The Wolves of K Street, to discuss the murky world of lobbying, its historical roots, and the unprecedented power wielded by today’s lobbyists. Part 2 of this two-part episode examines the role of the press in lobbying, how political fundraising pressures have allowed the lobbying industry to thrive, and whether existing laws have had any impact on influence peddling in Washington. Brody Mullins is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter and co-author of The Wolves of K Street References: Mullins, Brody, and Luke Mullins.
