    Jared Kushner emerges as focus of intel whistleblower complaint about Gabbard

    For more than a week since the initial report from the Wall Street Journal, information about an intelligence community whistleblower report and the accusation that Tulsi Gabbard did not handle the report properly has been slowly leaking to the public. Now it has emerged that Jared Kushner is the subject at the center of the report. Andrew Bakaj, chief legal counsel for Whistleblower Aid, and the attorney for the whistleblower in question, talks with Jen Psaki about where the case stands. Senator Amy Klobuchar joins to discuss Minnesota seeking accountability in the wake of Donald Trump's anti-immigrant surge. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison talks with Jen Psaki about trying to get federal cooperation in the investigations of the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Beyond the near daily new stories about people in Donald Trump's orbit and administration turning up in the Epstein files, the regular business of the Trump administration is in a state of disaster as the economy sputters and Trump's crown jewel anti-immigrant agenda is destroying his approval rating. Jen Psaki paints the picture and explains why even the Trump administration's announcement of the end of the anti-immigrant surge in Minnesota is getting pushback from officials who want to make sure accountability is addressed before ICE heads out to terrorize the next American community.   To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

    'Likely incriminated': Congressman names six men unredacted from Epstein files

    Jen Psaki looks at how the Epstein scandal is an actual scandal in places still capable of shame and disgrace, while in the United States, association with notorious pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has no real consequences. Rep. Ro Khanna, however, intends to change that, and today named six men who he says were being hidden by the Department of Justice behind unnecessary redactions.    Jen Psaki reports on Donald Trump giving federal authority to debunked, discredited election conspiracy theorists to revisit his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden and produce an explanation that suits his ego and paranoia. Former federal prosecutor Preet Bharara joins for legal analysis of Trump's intrusion on states' elections. Mark Santia, MS NOW investigative correspondent reports live from Rio Rico, Arizona where sources say there is new FBI activity in the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. This development follows reports of other activity in Annie Guthrie's neighborhood as well as the release of doorbell camera video as the radius of the investigation continues to grow. Sky and Amanda Roberts, brother and sister-in-law to Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, join to discuss Epstein survivors' frustrations with Trump's Justice Department continuing to shield Epstein's associates.  To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

    Trump resorts to the ridiculous, desperate to reverse engineer the 2020 election

    Jen Psaki rounds up the myriad conspiracy theories and random ideas that Donald Trump has his White House staff chasing down in a desperate effort to make himself feel better about his loss to Joe Biden in 2020, and to justify taking control of the election process going forward under the guise of keeping elections honest. Senator Mark Warner joins to discuss how far out of bounds the Trump administration is going in pursuit of Trump's election conspiracy fantasies. Rep. Jamie Raskin talks with Jen about the galling breaking news that Donald Trump has told Senator Chuck Schumer that he will release  billions in funds for infrastructure projects if Schumer will support naming a train station and an airport after him. Donald Trump is suing the IRS for $10 billion dollars over leaked tax records, essentially asking his White House acolytes to hand over the money. He offers his reassurances that the money, taxpayer dollars, will be donated to charity, a familiar promise to anyone who has paid attention to Trump's past lies and the fact that Trump's charity was shut down over fraud. Former Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson talks about Steve Bannon's threat that Donald Trump will surround polling stations with masked, armed ICE agents.

    'Undo Trump' gains traction as a Democratic campaign message as Trump's popularity plummets

    Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee apparently thought they could help Donald Trump's cause by attacking former special counsel Jack Smith in hearing. Their failure in that endeavor is evidenced by them trying to bury the transcript of Smith's deposition over the New Year's holiday when as few people as possible were paying attention. Michael Feinberg, former FBI official, talks with Jen Psaki about Smith's clear explanation of Donald Trump's criminal culpability.  It should come as no surprise to anyone that criminal president Donald Trump is in regular conflict with the law, which means the best place to stop him is in the courts. California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who sued the Trump administration 52 times last year, talks with Jen Psaki about why the rule of law is Donald Trump's most successful opponent. Many Democratic candidates are hearing from voters that simply moving on from Donald Trump or thwarting his agenda is not enough. Voters want accountability and they want the damage Trump has done to the United States to be undone. Rep. Eric Swalwell talks with Jen Psaki about Democrats taking a more aggressive stance on how to treat Trump if they can regain control of parts of the federal government. While Marjorie Taylor Greene's split from Donald Trump is uncommon, her doing so while maintaining "America First" and "MAGA" bona fides, and while Trump flakes on Epstein files promises and botches other key issues, signals a weakening of Trump's grip on the Republican Party that may not even survive the duration of his second term. Robert Draper, journalist for the New York Times, discusses with Jen Psaki. To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.
