'Thin-skinned and petty and weak': Trump exposes himself, degrades U.S. legal system
With the indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James by Donald Trump's Justice Department, Trump's pattern of political prosecutions is undeniable. Rep. Dan Goldman, a former federal prosecutor, talks with Jen Psaki about the damage Trump's malicious prosecutions are doing to the U.S. legal system, and why it's more important that ever for members of the legal community to defend the rule of law from Donald Trump's abuses and distortions.Former federal prosecutor Preet Bharara talks with Jen Psaki about the many flaws in the legal cases being brought against people Donald Trump bears a grudge against, and points out that because they're only motivated by Trump's ire and vanity, there is no reason to expect them to end with the adversaries he has already named out loud for the DOJ to go after.For reasons only he can know, House Speaker Mike Johnson thought it would be a good idea to take questions from the public in the midst of presiding over a government shutdown. Among the uncomfortable encounters Johnson endured was a man who accused him of lying about illegal immigrants draining Medicaid. Johnson challenged the man to "look at the documents," so Jen Psaki did just that. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jen Psaki points out Attorney General Pam Bondi's strenuous efforts to avoid having to answer for anything happening within the department she leads, which is a problem throughout the Trump administration and is particularly acute in Trump himself, who not only famously refuses to take responsibility for anything but seems to have no real idea what is going on with the things he's supposed to be in charge of.Jacob Soboroff, MSNBC senior national correspondent, reports from the Chicago suburbs about how Donald Trump's anti-immigrant enforcers are targeting even the most benign members of the community, sparking outrage and defiance.
